The All-Area team for tennis was named today in the Holland Sentinel. Of the 12 players selected, a record high 9 were from West Ottawa! Unlike All-Conference, which is chosen by the coaches, the All-Area team is selected by members of the press. The schools they consider are West Ottawa, Holland, Zeeland East, Zeeland East, Hamilton, and Holland Christian. They choose by flight. For example, they felt that Harsh Seghal and Nick Valentine were the best 3rd doubles team this Fall, so they earned All-Area. The next best 3rd doubles team gets named Honorable Mention.
The following were named to the 2012 All-Area Team:
Dan Dykens
Nick Schobel
Mark VanderStoep
Greg Christie
Joe Miller
Harsh Seghal
Nick Valentine
Andy Radke
Nick Govert
Kyle Harper (Honorable Mention)
