It was a day of mixed results for the local contingent of players at this year’s MPA state singles tournament, moved Friday from Bates College to the Racket and Fitness Center in Portland due to inclement weather.

Lewiston’s top players, Chantalle Lavertu and Mike Butler, made it through to the round of 16, as did Lewiston girls’ No. 2 Emilie Cloutier. Lavertu and Cloutier dropped one game between the two of them.

Butler, meanwhile, had a tougher time with Windham High School’s No. 2 player Dan Crocker. Butler ousted Crocker in three sets, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2.

“He was over-aggressive in the first set,” Lewiston coach Ron Chicoine said of Butler. “Once he started being selectively aggressive in the second and third sets, he took control of the match.”

Crocker had taken out Mt. Blue’s Matthew St. John in a round of 44 match prior to his meeting with Butler.

Winthrop’s top girl, Kelsey Ouellette, also advanced through to Saturday’s round of 16 with a victory over Ashley Gale of John Bapst.

The rest of Lewiston’s contingent didn’t fare so well.

Ben McDonough, who drew tough anyway and would have had to face No. 1 seed Mike Hill in the round of 16, didn’t make it out of the round of 32, dropping a 7-5, 6-4 decision to Pat LaCivita of Belfast. The Blue Devils’ No. 3 singles player, sophomore Scott Gagne, muscled through his opening round match, but was hobbled by an injury he suffered against Mt. Ararat earlier this week and lost.

Lewiston’s Abby Blaisdell, also a sophomore, fell in a tight match to John Bapst’s Jordan Myerowicz.

In other matches involving local girls’ players, Hannah Langlos of Oak Hill dropped a three-set match to Hannah Jenkins of Hampden and Carolyn Joseph of St. Dom’s lost 6-1, 6-0 to Windham’s Jenna Willey.

Guy Jenkins of Lisbon won his first-round match in straight sets over Noah Bracken of Mt. Desert Island, but lost in the second round to No. 6 seed Tom Dillman of Greely, 6-0, 6-2. Danny Gleason of Edward Little lost an opening-round match to Messalonskee’s Spencer Luettich, while Alvaro Vian Mola of Mt. Blue dropped a straight-set decision to Nick Polko of Falmouth.

The round of 16 and the quarterfinals are scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday at Bates College’s Wallach Tennis Complex. If it rains, the tourney will again relocate to Portland.
