FORT BRAGG >> Fort Bragg\u2019s Naman Bhatt put on a show in first singles, but the Kelseyville Knights won the day, beating the Timberwolves 4-1 in Coastal Mountain Conference North action Thursday in Fort Bragg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis kid (Bhatt) is the best player I\u2019ve seen in our division since I\u2019ve been coaching,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Andy Dobusch said. \u201cI believe he was a state-ranked player in Kansas before transferring to Fort Bragg. He\u2019s legit and has a chance at our conference championship, which have been dominated by Sonoma Academy and St. Helena for the past decade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville\u2019s Maddy Borghesani did her best to stay with Naman in first singles, Naman winning 6-1, 6-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlaying against boys of this caliber helps improve Maddy\u2019s game,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cHe\u2019s serving close to 100 mph and she\u2019s battling them back and getting into some great rallies. He\u2019s just at a different level. It was fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Bushey beat Gavin Wahl 6-4, 6-0 in second singles, rallying from a 4-3 deficit in the first set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took a while for the drive over the mountain to wear off, but when she settled in, the match was over,\u201d Dobusch said of Bushey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing singles for the first time, Brooklyn Young defeated Angelica Lopez 6-0, 6-0 in third singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrooklyn played a smart and consistent match,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cShe\u2019s not going to overpower her opponents, not yet, but she\u2019s smooth and steady and places the ball well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doubles action, Kelseyville collected two more wins. Riley Lopez and Olivia Raabe beat Rebecca Valenzuela and Estelle Brouard 6-2, 6-0 in first doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComing into the match, I thought Riley and Liv would roll over their opponent, so I was a little surprised when the match got off to a 2-2 start,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cThen they settled in and took care of business as Riley\u2019s court coverage and Olivia\u2019s served proved too much for their opponents to handle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace Peterson and Gemma Tanti defeated Ethan Zartman and Theodore Gebheim 6-1, 6-0 in second doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was Gemma\u2019s first action of the season, and she stepped up and played some solid tennis,\u201d Dobusch said. \u201cAs a sophomore, she improved a lot from last year and has the potential to continue improving. She\u2019s got a funky backhand, but it works or her and proves there\u2019s more than one way to get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Dobusch, \u201cGrace was all over the court today. She probably moved more than anybody on our team. She was very active at the net. There were some great volleys. Her aggressiveness put pressure on the opponents and caused a lot of errors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights, now 3-2 in conference action, are right back at it Friday when they host Cloverdale at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
