PT’s Kreider, Floyd win Section 5-AAA doubles title
Two weeks after winning a WPIAL Section 5-AAA singles title, Peters Township boys tennis player Mitch Kreider teamed with Jake Floyd to win one on the doubles side Monday.
Kreider and Floyd, the top-seeded pairing, defeated Chartiers Valley’s Kyle Hicken and Adam Kubicki in the championship, 6-1, 6-0.
If Hicken and Kubicki were a little tired, Kreider and Floyd knew who to thank: In the semifinals, Peters Township’s No. 2 pairing of Connor Daley and Brendan Dollard pushed them to the limit before losing in three sets, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2.
Daley and Dollard won the consolation match – 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 over Chartiers Valley’s Calvin Boyle and Kevin Rectenwald – to give Peters Township two doubles teams in the WPIAL tournament for the first time since 2008.
The WPIAL doubles tournament will be held Monday and Tuesday of next week.
