CENTERVILLE — The top-four seeds in both Division I and II singles and doubles sectional tournaments on Tuesday won all of their matches to qualify for districts next week.

Two singles players and two doubles teams from Greene County were amongst those who advanced.

D-I singles in Centerville had Michael Page of Beavercreek, the three-seed, and Daniel Songer of Bellbrook, the four-seed, both make the semifinals of the tournament. Page dropped 10 total games in his three matches against three fellow GWOC players, while Songer lost nine total games while also getting past three GWOC players and is the only district qualifier in singles not from that league.

Page will face Elliot Galbraith of Centerville, the two-seed, in one semifinal on Thursday, while Songer gets the top-seed, Rishi Dore of Springboro, in the other match.

The No. 2-seeded team of Noah Ehret and Deven Wells of Beavercreek only needed two wins after getting a first round bye. They won their second round match love-love and defeated Nikhil Mall and Alexander Howell of Bellbrook, 6-1, 6-1 to advance to districts. They will face a freshman team from Springboro in Thursday’s semifinal round.

In Troy at the D-II tournament, the top seed from Yellow Springs, Ethan and Jason Knemeyer, won both of their matches, 6-0, 6-1, to advance to their second straight district appearance. They have the four-seed from Milton Union in the semifinals on Saturday.

Getting to the quarterfinals in D-I singles was Rishi Mankala of Beavercreek, and in D-II doubles Tallis Onfroy-Curley and Luka Sage-Frabotta of Yellow Springs also were one match win away from qualification.
