THE RECAP: 2025 UIL Tennis State Tournament Results; RR Westwood excels, Kempner's Do captures 4th Title
SAN ANTONIO — The UIL Tennis State Tournament concluded Friday at the Northside Tennis Center, capping off another thrilling year of high school competition with standout performances across the board—particularly from Round Rock Westwood and Fort Bend Kempner.
In 6A boys singles, Round Rock Westwood’s Sibi Raja claimed the state title with a straight-set win (6-2, 6-3) over Austin Westlake’s Lucas Riezebeek. Raja, a senior committed to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, closed out his high school career in dominant fashion.
Westwood continued its winning ways in boys doubles as brothers Daniel and Devon Zhang battled through three sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-3) to defeat Southlake Carroll’s Andrew Whitehead and Danil Kazakov. It marked Daniel’s second consecutive state title after winning last year with Leon Chen.
On the girls side, Tompkins’ Ananya Sriniketh, also heading to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, rallied to defeat Coppell’s Alexandra Patton in a three-set comeback (4-6, 7-5, 6-3) and secure the 6A girls singles crown.
In 6A girls doubles, Westwood added another title to its tally. Anwitha Duduka and Janya Tellabati earned a straight-set victory (7-5, 6-3) over Plano West’s Emma Thoms and June Kim. Duduka, who was runner-up last year with a different partner, clinched the title this time with Tellabati.
Fort Bend Clements made its mark in 6A mixed doubles as Gabriel Segubiense and Jastine Escamos powered past El Paso Franklin’s Kendall Olivas and Ayden Fraire (6-4, 6-3). Segubiense, who finished second in 2024 with a different partner, completed his redemption run with the win.
In 5A boys singles, Fort Bend Kempner’s Noey Do etched his name into the history books, winning his fourth consecutive state championship. The Rice-bound senior capped off a remarkable high school career with another dominant showing.
Other 5A champions included Walnut Grove’s Matteo Mejia and Blake Anderson in boys doubles, and Abilene Wylie’s Hope Willis in girls singles. Grapevine’s Sara and Emilia Gyorgy captured their second straight girls doubles title, continuing a family legacy of excellence. Frisco Lebanon Trail’s Aaditt Rishi and Addison Rosser claimed the 5A mixed doubles title.
With multiple repeat champions, sibling duos, and dramatic matches, this year’s UIL State Tournament served as a showcase of Texas tennis talent—and a fitting finale to the 2025 season.

EXTRA TIME: Previewing the 2025 UIL Soccer State Finals--Walnut Grove v. SA Southwest (Boys 5A-D1)
The stage is set for an exciting showdown in the UIL 5A-Division I State Final as Walnut Grove and San Antonio Southwest face off this Friday at 6:30 PM at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown.
Both teams have made history by reaching the state final for the first time, and now, they’ll battle for their first-ever state championship.
Walnut Grove enters the final with an imposing undefeated record of 24-0-2, having sealed their spot in the title match with a dominant 5-1 victory over Americas in the state semifinals last Friday.
The Wildcats’ run to the State Final Four marks the program’s first-ever appearance at this stage, and they are determined to cap off their historic year with a title.
Under the leadership of head coach Trent Kutch, Walnut Grove has relied on a potent offense and solid teamwork throughout the season.
Junior midfielder Mason Kutch (DePaul-commit) has been a standout, leading the charge with 36 goals and 20 assists. His skill and vision have been crucial to the team’s success in 2025.
Supporting him are seniors Ben Joyner (18 goals) and Christian Nardelli (11 goals), who bring additional firepower to the attack, while senior midfielder Carson Stiglets (10 assists) ensures the midfield runs smoothly and provides key distribution.
On the other side of the field, San Antonio Southwest is enjoying a remarkable season of their own.
The Dragons have gone 25-1 thus far, and they are coming off a 5-0 victory over Angleton in the state semifinals, a dominant performance that further solidified their place in the final.
Coached by Juan Romero, Southwest boasts a relentless offense, scoring an impressive 135 goals in just 26 games this season—an average of nearly five goals per match. This firepower is complemented by an equally efficient defense, which has allowed just 11 goals all year.
Southwest features a trio of prolific scorers: junior forward Caleb Barajas, senior forward Cesar Angel, and sophomore Alfredo Plascencia. Together, they’ve tormented opposing defenses all season.
In addition, defenders Sebastian Huerta (sophomore) and Valente Leon (senior midfielder) are vital to both the team’s defensive solidity and attacking transitions.
The emergence of freshman goalkeeper Emiliano Romo has also been a game-changer, as he has kept 13 clean sheets this season, providing a reliable last line of defense.
History will soon be made, as both Walnut Grove and SA Southwest contend for their first-ever title, in the UIL 5A-D1 Final, taking place Friday (6:30 PM) at Birkelbach Field.
