Mounties down NK

WOONSOCKET — The Mount St. Charles tennis team received an impressive threeset victory from the No. 1 singles team of Dre Danneker and Tim O’Brien to earn the Mounties a 4-3 Division I victory over North Kingstown Thursday afternoon.

Danneker and O’Brien won the opening set of their match, but NK’s Blake Land and Tyler Sutton came back to claim the second set before the Mounties won the third, 6-3. Mount also received straight-set victories from No. 2 singles player Jacob Lawrence, No. 3 singles player Tristan Cox and No. 4 singles player Shaan Arora.

Mount St. Charles (3-9 Division I) is scheduled to face Smithfield Saturday morning, but rain is forecast for the Blackstone Valley.

SAVATDY POSTS WIN

NORTH PROVIDENCE — Woonsocket High bused to North Providence on Thursday afternoon with hopes of manufacturing a Division III upset, and – for a spell – it appeared possible for the Villa Novans.

After all, Khameron Savatdy dismissed Angela Magat, 6-3, 6-0, at the first singles spot.

The Cougars, however, swept the rest of the lineup and cruised to a 6-1 triumph.

The Novans nevertheless made NP earn it, as Andy Ratsapho put up a battle before succumbing to Ricky Africo, 6-4, 6-3; and No. 1 doubles, the tandem of Simon Savatphong and Nathaly Phrasavath sustained a tough 6-2, 7-6 (3) loss to Steve Grivers and Gian Salvatore.
