The AHSAA’s 2025 Class 7A State Tennis Championships at Mobile Tennis Center turned out to be a repeat of sorts of the 2024 state finals.

Montgomery Academy’s Gabby Barerra claimed the girls No. 1 singles championship state title for the third year in a row. Vestavia Hills’ Luke Bedwell captured the Class 7A Boys’ No. 1 singles crown for the second consecutive year.

And the Vestavia Hills boys and girls tennis teams repeated as champions – thanks to a strong lineup that captured four girls singles titles and all three doubles championships, and the Rebels’ boys won five individual singles flight championships and all three doubles titles as well.

Vestavia Hills has won four consecutive boys team titles while the girls have taken two straight and three of the past four.

The Vestavia boys, coached by Oliver Aaron, finished with 57 points – more than doubling runner-up Montgomery Academy, which totaled 26 points to edge Florence (24) and Hoover (23) for second.

Bedwell (28-1) beat the Montgomery Academy’s John Alford (36-5) to claim the top singles title 6-1, 6-3. He teamed with No. 3 singles champion Louis Kolettis (26-4) to win the No. 1 doubles title as well – beating Hoover’s duo of Chen Joiner and Cade Black in a tough final, 6-2, 4-6, 10-5. No. 2 singles champ Andrew Pipkin (22-1) joined with No. 5 singles champ Daniel Cather (25-4) to win the No. 2 doubles title. Ben Cusimariu and Parker Liu won at No. 3 doubles. Duncan McInnes (14-1) also won the No. 6 singles flight.

Barrera (30-0) finished undefeated on the season, closing out the 80th AHSAA State Tennis Championship week with a 7-5, 6-2 victory over Huntsville’s Mazie MacGrotty (15-1) in a battle of unbeatens in the 7A No. 1 singles finals. St. Paul’s Pearce Graf (28-0) also finished her season unbeaten on the way to the No. 2 singles finals over Vestavia’s Madison Standifer (18-4) with a 6-4, 7-6 (8) win.

Vestavia Hills coach Timarie Fisk’s girls also claimed singles championships with Kenley Outzen (22-4) at No. 3, Caroline Helms (23-3) at No. 4, Peyton Standifer (19-0) at No. 5 and Kitty Watts (24-1) at No. 6 – and Vestavia swept all three doubles titles.
