Mountain Brook High School’s boys and girls swept the 80th AHSAA Class 6A State Tennis Championships in Mobile. It was no big surprise for the Spartans’ faithful as the titles upped the girls’ AHSAA championship record to 35 and the boys’ record to 29.

Mountain Brook’s girls have won eight consecutive championships – 2017-2025 (there was no tournament in 2020) – and trail only UMS-Wright’s 11 for most AHSAA titles in a row.

It was the first two crowns for new Mountain Brook head coach Carlee Petro.

Mountain Brook’s girls totaled 69 points to beat runner-up UMS-Wright with 48 points. The Mountain Brook boys totaled 81 points with runner-up Jasper finishing with 53.

Mountain Brook’s girls won the No. 2, 3, 5 and 6 singles titles and the No. 3 doubles title. The Spartans’ boys won five of six singles championships and two of three doubles titles.

Sarah Ladd of UMS-Wright closed her senior season at 17-3 beating Clare LaCour of McGill-Toolen Catholic 6-4, 2-6, 10-7 to win the No. 1 singles title. Mountain Brook’s Olivia Roberts won at No. 2, Leslie Mitchell at No. 3, Mary Magaret Malatesta at No. 5 and Sarah Still at No. 6.

UMS-Wright’s Ann-Dyas Thompson beat Mountain Brook’s Kelcie Dowling in the No. 4 singles finals.

Northridge freshman Will Thorn (15-2) prevented Mountain Brook’s boys from sweeping all six singles crowns with a 6-1, 6-2 win over the Spartans’ No. 1 singles player Thomas Austin (23-10) in the finals.

Mountain Brook swept the remaining singles championships, with Quint Freeman winning at No. 2, Hews Goodson at No. 3, Max Gayden at No. 4, Tony Sciara at No. 5, and Karna Palaniappan at No. 6.

The 2025 AHSAA Tennis Championships continue Thursday and Friday at Mobile Tennis Center with Classes 4A/5A and Class 7A competing.
