PUEBLO, Colo.—Kent Denver sophomore Sammie Watson was in high gear Friday morning as she cruised into Saturday’s No. 1 singles championship match in the Class 4A girls high school state tennis tournament at the City Park Tennis Complex.
Watson, the defending champ, has been beaten just once in her prep career. She’ll take on Jessika Mozia, a Colorado Academy freshman, in the finals. Watson has already downed Mozia twice this season in two sets.
Their championship match will take the spotlight since Cheyenne Mountain put away the school’s 14th girls title Friday with a blitz of points.
The Indians piled up 58 points through Friday afternoon’s playback matches with Fossil Ridge well back at 33.
The Indians held a 15-point advantage in the team scores after the semifinals and advanced four into the championship round. Emily Venner will play for the No. 3 singles title, and the Indians also have finalists at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 doubles.
