Three Middies qualify for state tennis

Three Middies qualify for state tennis
Three Middletown High School tennis players have qualified for the New York State championship tournament, including a doubles team that already has won two local titles.
 
Alexis Michael and Sandra Habwe teamed and captured the Section 9 doubles championship on Wednesday, after winning the Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association doubles championship last week!
 
Sasha Henesy placed third in the Section 9 singles tournament, after winning the OCIAA title last week.
 
By virtue of all three finishing in at least third place in the sectional tournament, they qualified for the state championships on Oct. 28-30 at the USTA National Tennis Center in Queens. This is the same complex where the U.S. Open for professional men's and women's tennis is played. They all lost in their first matches, but it was a great season for them and Middletown girls tennis.
