Tennis: All in the Family! Freedom's Brother and Sister Sweep Dulles District Singles Titles; Valley Boys Clinch AAA State Tournament Bid

(May 20, 2010) - The athletes in Thursday's AA Dulles District boys and girls singles tennis tournament must have felt like they entered the "Wong tournament" ... because it was all about the Wong's as Freedom High School senior Carla Wong took the girls title and her brother, freshman Wesley Wong, claimed the boys title.

In AAA boys tennis, Loudoun Valley moved into the Northwest Region finals with a 5-2 win over Riverbend in Purcellville. The Vikes, who have now qualified for the state tournament, travel to Albemarle Friday for the regional finals.

Both Wongs started the singles tournament out by matching each other with a pair of 6-0, 6-0 sweeps in the semifinals as Carla defeated Angela Angiollilo of Broad Run and Wesley took care of Brett Stockman of Briar Woods.

In the other semifinals, Megan Hurley of Loudoun County advanced with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Elizabeth Zwicker of Briar Woods and defending district champion Kevin Chang of Broad Run beat Alex Chou of Dominion 7-5, 6-2.

In the finals, Carla Wong defeated Hurley 6-4, 6-0 and Wesley Wong defeated Chang 6-4, 6-3.
