And it should come as no surprise that there are some familiar faces in the bunch.
Players in three divisions are undefeated in league play this season, setting the stage for a serious shot at a title in their respective divisions.
Cornerstone’s Kenzie Behrns has put together three first-place finishes in girls singles, with Peacock’s Summer Okerstrom finishing second twice, including the most recent league night on Thursday. Reigning senior silver medalist Katie Coulson finished second during the second league night.
The boys doubles division has been the sole purvey of brothers Oliver and Xavier Bilodeau from Ecole Ducharme, as they’ve swept all three nights in commanding fashion. Reigning silver medalists John Ferris and Zach Beital had posted two second-place showings.
It’s a similar situation in mixed doubles, with bronze medal team from 2018, Alex Yee and Dream Perez, also unbeaten in league play. Peacock’s Des Rader and Gauge Adams have been their closest rivals with two second place finishes.
Leading in boys singles is Vanier’s Hayden Ma, with his only losses so far coming from out-of-town players who are ineligible for the city final.
The defending city champion and two-time city medalist, Ma finished third behind Assiniboia’s Jonathan Harden and Mortlach’s Micah Simrose in the first league night. He was able to rebound in style during League Night 2, defeating Simrose to take first place and then rolled to first place again during League Night 3 on Thursday, finishing ahead of Central’s Spencer Newans and Cornerstone’s Joel Goddard.
The girls doubles division has been the most volatile, with three separate winners – Vanier’s Juliana Gerapussco and Claire Astrologo won the most recent league night, while Caitlin Miller and Serena Schlamp claimed League Night 2, with Gerappusco and Astrologo in third. The opening league night was won by Assiniboia’s McKenna Brandt and Paige MacMillan, with Miller and Schlamp in second.
The Moose Jaw High School Athletic Association senior championships take place Tuesday, beginning at 4 p.m. at Peacock.
