Park Tudor's Danny Rayl, North Central Duo Capture Tennis Championships
Danny Rayl of Park Tudor and the North Central combo of Patrick McAuley and William Reifeis completed the 2013 boys season as state champions of their respective tournaments.
Rayl, a junior, finished a perfect 30-0 season defeating previously unbeaten Luke Sanderson of Kankakee Valley (24-1), 6-2, 6-2, in the final match.
A week after celebrating a team championship with their North Central teammates, McAuley, a junior and Reifeis, a senior, also finished with perfection. The pair turned away Bishop Dwenger seniors Bertram Najev and Charlie Scott, 6-4, 6-2, for the title.
Rayl became the second boy in state history to win a state title in both the singles and doubles tournaments. As a freshman in 2011, he teamed with Sam Geier to win the doubles crown before finishing as the singles runner-up a year ago.
