A pair of Miami Valley School tennis players are heading to the state tournament.

The doubles team of Kennedi Washington and Ginevra Muratori won the Division II district championship last week, losing just three games prior to the finals. They beat a Wyoming team, 6-1, 6-0, in the first round; Indian Hill, 6-0, 6-0, in the second round; Summit Country Day, 6-0, 6-3, in the third round; and another Indian Hill team, 6-2, 7-5, in the championship match.

They will take on Canfield's Hadley Moser and Whitney Miller, who finished fourth in the northeast district, beginning Oct. 17 at The College of Wooster.

This is the 13th time MVS has qualified for the state tournament and second in a row as Muratori qualified in singles last year. In 1978 Susan Rudd was the state runner-up in singles before finishing third in 1979. Other state appearances came in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1992, 1993, 2007, 2012, and 2013 according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association.
