HHI League’s Golden Girls & Bear Claws Win 70s Super Senior State Championships

SEABROOK ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) – It was a day of Golden victory for Hilton Head Island league teams in the USTA South Carolina Super Senior State Championships. The 70s division Women’s 3.0 Sun City Golden Girls and Men’s 3.5 Indigo Run Golden Bear Claws won their respective championships and, with it, the laurels to advance to the Southern Section Championships in early 2008. Two other HHI will square off Saturday morning for the title in the 70s Men’s 3.0.

With 20 HHI league teams among 81 competing from throughout the state, the Islanders took two of the three divisions that concluded play today. The Golden Girls, captained by Jean Podgorsky, had a tough time capturing the 3.0 championship, having to defeat HHI #2 Spring Lake Volley Dollies, captained by Barbara Kiebler, in two third-set match tiebreaks in the final team match. The Bear Claws, captained by Don Ross, won their first two team matches Thursday by sufficient margins to clinch their title despite losing today 2-1. Indigo Run and Upper Piedmont had the same 2-1 team record, but the Bears were 5/4 on courts won/lost and UPTA was 4/5.

The 70s will complete play early Saturday with HHI #1 Spring Lake Cruisers against HHI #2 Sea Pines Imosters. Neither team lost a court in the three-match group play. Meanwhile, the 60s division will complete group round robins Saturday that will decide those to advance to Sunday morning semi semifinals and finals. Four HHI league 60s teams are 2-0 going into Saturday: HHI #1 Sun City Dirt Ballers in Men’s 3.0 and HHI #1 Long Cove Super Retreads and HHI #2 Spring Lake Ultimates in Men’s 3.5.
