Ana Maria Rincon is named after former tennis professionals Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova.

Her parents picked the correct sport.

The Patrick Henry senior continued to be the biggest name in Virginia High School League Class 5 girls tennis on Saturday by winning her third state singles championship and teaming with her younger sister, Kathryn, to repeat as doubles champs at Huntington Park in Newport News.

An 8 a.m. start time suited Ana Maria as she dispatched Granby’s Ariana Pazos-Del Aguila for a 6-2, 6-2 victory to bring the singles trophy back to Roanoke for a third time.

The Rincon sisters teamed to claim the doubles title with a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Pazos-Del Aguila and Granby teammate Sai Bhasin after picking up a default in the semifinals from Frank Cox’s Ava Rassool and Valentine Renault.

Ana Maria Rincon, a Wofford College signee, lost just one singles match in her four-year career at PH, falling in a 2025 state semifinal. She pocketed six overall state titles including a 2023 doubles crown with PH’s Sawyer Stephenson.

Saturday was a banner day for western Virginia girls tennis as Radford’s Lydia Pratt and Bland County’s Tinley Worley each won a singles championship and shared in a doubles title at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

Pratt scored a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Central-Woodstock’s Caroline Eye in the Class 2 singles final and teamed with Ellie Steele for a 6-4, 6-4 doubles win over Ridgeview’s Danica Sutherland and Adrienne Potter.

Worley completed a trifecta of Class 1 team, singles and doubles championships as she defeated J.I. Burton’s Ava Stough 6-2, 6-2 and joined Addison Myers to take a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Stough and Burton’s Megyn Duff.

Marion’s boys doubles team of Caden Burchett and Brady White shrugged off a first-set loss and picked up a Class 2 boys doubles championship at Liberty with a 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 (10-5) win over Bruton’s Christoph Schweitzer and Alekzandr Rivera-Guzman.

E.C. Glass junior Tovia Carothers saw a strong run at the Class 4 girls singles title come up just short in Newport News with a 6-0, 6-7, 1-0 (10-8) loss to Jamestown’s Paisley Hogue.

Western Albemarle’s brother-sister tandem of Gage Sturman and Blythe Sturman made history at the expense of several Roanoke Valley players.

Gage Sturman took the Class 3 singles title at Liberty with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Lord Botetourt’s Ethan Steryous, while Blythe Sturman downed Cave Spring’s Roshini Sriranm 6-2, 6-3 in the Class 3 girls final.

Both Sturmans added the doubles championships. Gage Sturman teamed with William Schundler for a 6-0, 6-3 decision over Abingdon’s Luke Gibson and Blake Ketron. Blythe Sturman and Grace Zhang stopped Sriram and Cave Spring teammate Ishani Pinnamaran 6-0, 6-3 in the girls final.

Other singles championships Saturday were claimed by James Madison’s Josh Vargas (Class 6 boys), Maury’s John Felts (Class 5 boys), Charlottesville’s Sean Frank (Class 4 boys) and James Madison’s Gabriela Hernandez (Class 6 girls).

PH-Roanoke player one way away from third straight girls singles title

Updated June 12

Patrick Henry-Roanoke senior Ana Maria Rincon moved within one victory of her third VHSL Class 5 girls singles championship Friday with a 6-0, 6-2 semifinal victory over Chase London of Great Bridge High of Chesapeake at Huntington Park in Newport News.

Rincon, who won singles titles as a freshman and a sophomore, will play for the title against Ariana Pazos-Del Aguila of Granby High of Norfolk.

The Class 6, Class 5 and Class 4 doubles semifinals were postponed until Saturday because of high heat index readings in Newport News.

However, Rincon now faces the possibility of playing three matches in Saturday heat: the singles final at 8 a.m., a doubles semifinal at 11 a.m. with her sister, Kathryn Rincon, and a potential doubles final at 2 p.m.

E.C. Glass junior Tovia Carothers will play for the Class 4 girls title Saturday after posting a 6-3, 2-6 1-0 (10-8) win Friday over Atlee’s Zabrielle Vasquez. Carothers, who was the Class 4 runner-up in 2024 as a freshman, will play Jamestown’s Paisley Hogue.

Two Roanoke Valley players reached Class 3 singles finals at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

Lord Botetourt’s Ethan Steryous reached the boys final with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Tabb’s Neel Dharni, while Cave Spring’s Roshini Sriram advanced with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over York’s Sophia Kannarkat.

Opposing Steryous and Sriram on Saturday morning will be Western Albemarle’s brother-sister combination of Gage Sturman and Blythe Sturman.

Radford’s Lydia Pratt made the Class 2 girls final with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over Bruton’s Sabrina Sukman. Bland County’s Tinley Worley, fresh off leading the Bears to the Class 1 girls team title on Thursday, moved into the singles final with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Lancaster’s McKenzie Pittman.

Pratt will play Central-Woodstock’s Caroline Eye, who outlasted Ridgeview’s Danica Sutherland in a semifinal.

Two-time Class 2 boys champion Jack Clem of Richlands advanced to the final with a win over Central-Woodstock’s Kyle McCabe.

Bland and Ridgeview girls take state tennis titles

Updated June 11

Bland High School combined its athletic programs with neighboring Rocky Gap in 1992 before the two rivals eventually consolidated as Bland County High in the 2014-15 school year.

The Bears entered the 2025-26 prep sports calendar having never won a Virginia High School League state team championship in any sport.

That changed Thursday.

Bland County made history as the Bears dispatched three-time defending champion Rappahannock High of Warsaw with a 5-1 victory in the Class 1 girls tennis final at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

In 2023, Rappahannock County won the first of its three consecutive titles.

In 2023, Bland County did not have a girls tennis team.

In 2024 when the Bears revived their program, they did not have playable home courts and were forced to play all their matches on the road and hold practices on private clay courts.

None of it mattered as Bland County survived in extreme heat to claim the big trophy for the first time.

Senior Tinley Worley, a Ferrum College volleyball signee, led the way at No. 1 singles. Seniors Addison Myers (No. 2 singles), Kendall Worley (No. 3) and Alysia Lopez (No. 4) scored victories Thursday along with freshman Laiken Wolfe (No. 6). Tinley Worley, the Region 1C champion, will play in a state singles semifinal Friday and team with Myers in the doubles competition.

Junior Annabelle Rasnake played the No. 5 position, while freshman Cohen Wright was in the lineup at No. 3 doubles.

The doubles matches were not necessary as Bland County closed out the match with the five singles victories.

Bears head coach Jonathan Romano, a former college men’s player at Emory & Henry, credited his team’s overall athleticism for the championship.

“I started teaching there … and I figured, ‘Why not try to get a tennis team up?’ ” Romano said. “I got this group of girls, mostly it was girls on the volleyball team. Girls decided to come out and play and had never touched a tennis racket in their life.”

Volleyball coaches at times have been known for being territorial about their athletes. That was no problem for Romano. His brother, Hunter, is the school’s volleyball head coach and his tennis assistant.

“It definitely did [make it easier],” he said.

Bland County finished 22-1 with the lone loss coming to Mountain Empire District rival George Wythe, one of six matches this season against the Maroons including last week’s Class 1 state semifinal.

Bland County is not without a successful tennis past.

Ashleigh Sarver was a four-time Group A singles champion from 1996-99, while her sister Grace Sarver won three Group A titles (2009-10, 2012).

Long before the two county schools joined forces, Bland High won four successive Group III boys basketball state titles from 1961-64, and Rocky Gap captured the boys basketball crown in 1965.

Bland County did not have a monopoly on tennis success stories for consolidated schools.

Ridgeview High, which opened in 2015 with the Dickenson County consolidation of Clintwood and Haysi high schools, won the Class 2 girls championship Thursday at Liberty University with a 5-2 victory over Bruton.

Clintwood High boasted a solid tennis tradition in the 1980s with VHSL Group A runner-up finishes in 1980 and ’89.

However, during the past 40-plus years, tennis at the Group A or Class 2A level in the Mountain Seven District was owned by the likes of Gate City with 10 state championships, J.J. Kelly with eight and Central-Wise with one.

The Wolfpack capped a build from the ground up with a blueprint by head coach Adam Smith, completing a 22-0 season that included a pair of triumph over Class 3 quarterfinalist Abingdon and a 5-4 quarterfinal win over Radford on June 5 at Virginia Tech.

The title was the third in school history, following a Class 2 girls basketball championship in 2016 and a Class 2 volleyball crown in 2024.

Smith, a North Carolina native and a former No. 1 men’s singles player at Emory & Henry, took over the Ridgeview program in 2018 and rolled out a lineup in 2026 that featured a mix of seniors and freshmen.

 “It’s worked out,” said Smith, a former boys head coach at Abingdon. “It’s perfect chemistry. Some of the seniors have been with me since seventh grade. I started a little middle school program because I was tired of losing. Two of them stuck with me throughout and it’s really good to see them achieve the ultimate goal.”

Region 2D singles champion Danica Sutherland led the way in the No. 1 spot, and heir-apparent freshman Adrianne Potter was at No. 2. Sutherland, an E&H signee, will compete in a Class 1 singles semifinal Friday morning before teaming with Potter in a doubles semi.

Seniors Josie Hill, Scotlin Bowens and Jaeda Dingus; and freshman Kinsley Yates rounded out the top six.

Ridgeview’s depth was critical in its quarterfinal victory over Radford as the Wolfpack won at No. 3, 4 and 6 singles and No. 2 and 3 doubles.

“Number 4 was the pivotal match,” Smith said. “Scotlin lost the first set. Won the second set in dominant fashion and then won the tiebreaker, I think 10-6. I knew once we got it to 3-all I thought we had a real good shot at [No.] 2 and 3 doubles. We’ve prided ourselves on good doubles play.”

Floyd County saw its bid for a first boys state tennis title come up short as Bruton High of Williamsburg handed the Buffaloes a 5-2 setback at Liberty.

 Other team champions Thursday were James Madison (Class 6 boys), Western Albemarle (Class 4 boys), Jamestown (Class 4 girls) and Maggie Walker (Class 3 girls).

The Class 5 boys, Class 6 girls and Class 5 girls team finals at Huntington Park in Newport News were suspended because of extreme heat with plans to resume Thursday evening.

Friday’s Class 6, Class 5 and Class 4 boys and girls singles semifinals in Newport News have been moved up to an 8 a.m. start with doubles now scheduled for 11 a.m.

Bland girls to play for first team championship

Updated June 9

Bland County and George Wythe played their Class 1 girls team semifinal Tuesday and the result was similar to the Region 1C championship match as the Bears took a 5-1 win over the Maroons.

Bland County will play for its first team championship Thursday at Liberty University in Lynchburg when the Bears line up against three-time defending state champion Rappahannock High of Warsaw.

The girls teams from E.C. Glass and Abingdon hit semifinal walls Tuesday with Jamestown defeating Glass 5-0 in Class 4 and Meridian scoring a 5-0 road win over Abingdon.

Floyd boys reach first state championship match in 39 years

Updated Monday, June 8

Floyd County reached its first VHSL state boys tennis championship match in 39 years on Monday, while Cave Spring’s boys and Radford’s girls suffered narrow semifinal losses.

Floyd scored a 5-3 decision over Richlands in a Class 2 at home. The Buffaloes will play 2025 state runner-up Bruton for the state title Thursday at Liberty University in Lynchburg. The final is scheduled for 11 a.m.

Floyd County’s only previous appearance in a state final was in 1987 when the Buffaloes fell 8-1 to George Mason.

Bruton is making its fifth successive trip to the state championship match. The Williamsburg team won the title in 2024. Bruton lost 5-4 to Marion in the 2025 final.

Cave Spring, which last made a boys state tennis final in 1978 at the Group AAA level, dropped a 5-4 match in a Class 3 semifinal at home to Maggie Walker Governor’s School of Richmond.

Maggie Walker won back-to-back Class 3 championships in 2023-24 along with five Group 2A/Class 2 titles between 2014-19. Maggie Walker will face the winner of Tuesday’s match between Western Albemarle and James Monroe in the Class 3 final Thursday at Liberty University.

Radford’s girls saw their bid for a 10th VHSL tennis championship end Monday at Virginia Tech with a 5-4 loss to Ridgeview High of Dickenson County.

Ridgeview will play for its first VHSL tennis title Thursday at Liberty University against Bruton, a 5-0 semifinal winner over Fort Defiance.

E.C. Glass has a Class 4 girls semifinal Tuesday at Jamestown High in Williamsburg.

Abingdon’s girls will be at home in a Class 3 semifinal against Meridian High of Falls Church.

Bland County will play at home at 9 a.m. Tuesday against George Wythe in a Class 1 girls semifinal in a rematch of the Region 1C final won by the Bears.
