    Sixteen Former Players Named High School Tennis All Americans

    Each spring the top 40 boys and top 40 girls in the country are honored as National High School Tennis All Americans by the National High School Tennis All-American Foundation. In 2014 a tournament record sixteen former participants received this honor. Eight players who participated in the 2014 tournament were among this year's honorees including Co-Most Valuable Players Martin Joyce and Michael Lorenzini. Former girls all tournament team selections Olivia Thaler and Cassie Mercer were selected for the second straight season. Five of the boys' selections, including Martin Joyce, Robert Kelly, Baker Newman, Chase Perez-Blanco and Walker Sims, were selected for the second straight year.

    To be eligible to receive consideration as an All-American tennis player a student/athlete must maintain an above average academic and citizenship record, compete on a high school tennis team, and garner an individual national ranking. Among the elite group of student/athletes honored in the past as tennis All-Americans are many current and former professional tennis players, including Pete Sampras, Todd Martin, Kimberly Po, Aaron Krickstein, Jeff Tarango, Taylor Dent and Sam Querrey. All decisions for All-American honors are researched and authorized by a panel of eight (8) National District Chairmen who are highly respected high school coaches.

    Ransom Everglades Wins Florida Class A State Championship


    The 2014 DecoTurf High School Tennis Team Championships Girls A Division Champion Ransom Everglades added another accomplishment as they cruised to the Florida Class A State Championship. The championship was the Raiders second in the last three seasons. Ransom Everglades didn't achieve perfection at the state tournament, but they weren't far from it. The Raiders captured four of five singles divisions with wins by Allegra Hanlon, Claudia Mackenzie, Daniela Lopez and Heather Boehm. The pair of Hanlon & Lopez also went on to claim the No. 1 Doubles division.

    “We came out extremely focused,” coach Peter Lehmann said. “We knew what the number was to clinch this thing, and the girls didn’t waste any time. They got it done in a hurry.”

    Ransom Everglades finished with a total of 19 points, just two points from a perfect 21 point sweep of the state tournament. The next closest opponent was American Heritage in a distant second place with 10 points. 

    The Raiders will now send their three seniors Allegra Hanlon (Cornell), Claudia Mackenzie (Navy) and Lindsey Mendelson (Columbia) and off to play NCAA Division I tennis. Coach Lehman said "I can tell you that this is the best girls’ team I’ve ever coached."

    Ransom Everglades Claims Their First Tournament | Florida Teams Dominate the Field


    On Saturday afternoon the DecoTurf High School Tennis Team Championships crowned a new champion for the first time since 2010. The Ransom Everglades Raiders claimed the championship in the first tournament appearance. The 2014 tournament provided plenty of excitement leading up to the Raiders championship battle with three-time defending champion Baylor. 

    The tournament opened with dominant performances by our four semifinalists. In Group A Walton rolled past Sayre and Highlands of Kentucky winning the dual matches 18-0 and outscoring their opponents 192-33 in individual matches. Baylor, three-time tournament champions, opened the tournament with a bang defeating defending Florida Class 3A State Champion Barron Collier 8-1 and clinched their semi-final berth with a 9-0 win over Notre Dame Prep. Pine Crest won their group with a pair of 9-0 victories over West Virginia Class 3A State Champion Huntington and Assumption. The final semi-final spot went to Ransom Everglades who defeated Oklahoma Class 6A State Champion Duncan 9-0 in their opener before battling Girls Preparatory School in a 3+ hour match eventually winning 9-0. 


    The tournament semi-final matchups paired Walton against Baylor and a Sunshine State battle between Pine Crest and Ransom Everglades. Baylor opened their semi-final with a commanding 3-0 lead after doubles and clinched their place in the championship after victories by Drew Hawkins (No. 5 Singles) and Maggie Crumbliss (No. 3 Singles). The Red Raiders went on to win the match with a final score of 6-3. Ransom Everglades pulled off a comeback in their semi-final after falling behind 2-1 after the doubles matches. Pine Crest's Amanda Rabin gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead before Ransom Everglades went on to win four of the top five singles positions including Claudia Mackenzie's 2-6, 6-1, 10-2 three set victory at No.2 Singles. 

    The Championship match got off to an exciting start as Baylor's Samantha Caswell & McCall Morgan defeated Allegra Hanlon & Daniela Lopez 8-5 to give the Red Raiders an early lead. Ransom Everglades won the next two doubles positions handing Baylor their only doubles losses of the tournament to take a 2-1 lead into the singles matches. Tournament Most Valuble Player Claudia Mackenzie defeated Harper Caswell 6-4, 6-2 to give Ransom the 3-1 lead and despite dropping No.6 Singles the Raiders clinched their first title with wins by Daniela Lopez and Heather Boehm. Baylor's Samantha Caswell and McCall Morgan won the final two matches on court to bring the final score to 5-4. 

    The third place match was dominated by Walton from the beginning with the Raiders outscoring Pine Crest 25-12 in the doubles matches to take a 3-0 lead. Walton went on to win all six singles matches beginning with Bella Kuse's 6-0, 6-1 victory over Stephanie Taylor at No.1 Singles. Walton's 9-0 victory claimed them the highest finish in tournament history for a Georgia school. 

    In the fifth place match Barron Collier gave the Sunshine State their third top 5 finish in the 2014 tournament. The Cougars took control of the match early taking a 4-2 lead after singles with wins by Kaeli Smashey, Hannah Belsinger and Emily Wyman at the top 3 singles positions. The drama was put to rest quickly in the doubles point with Kaeli Smashey and Hannah Belsinger claiming an 8-5 win in the first doubles match completed to clinch the 5th place win for Barron Collier in the first tournament appearance. Girls Preparatory School, a two-time tournament finalist, finished sixth with the loss.
