The Fort Walton Beach High School girls tennis team captured the district championship with a dominant performance over runner-up Panama City Bay Haven on Tuesday, April 15.

The Vikings amassed 17 points to Bay Haven’s 10, advancing to all seven finals matches and securing three championship medals in the process.

Gigi Biro won the singles championship at the No. 5 position, while Katie Eubanks claimed both singles and doubles championships at the No. 4 spot. Kinley Driver earned a doubles championship while finishing second in her No. 3 singles match.

Reese Armstrong and Penelope Gordon, playing in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions respectively, both finished second in singles and doubles competition. Gordon narrowly missed a singles title, losing a close match that went to a third-set tiebreaker.

The district championship earns the Vikings home-court advantage for the upcoming regional tournament.

Fort Walton Beach will host the Class 2, District 2 runner-up in Tuesday’s regional semifinal at the Fort Walton Beach Tennis Center. A victory would allow them to host the regional final at the same location on Thursday.
