Tennis Stars Continue Winning Ways

Two former Phoenixville Area High School boys tennis stars are continuing their winning ways at the collegiate level.
Kyle MacLelland and Tom McAvoy, who teamed up to capture the PIAA Class AA state doubles championship in 2007, are now sophomores in college. MacLelland is playing at Lafayette College while McAvoy is playing at Philadelphia University.
MacLelland played first singles and McAvoy second singles for the Pioneer Athletic Conference champion Phantoms, who are coached by Leo Scoda. MacLelland also won the PAC-10 singles title as a senior.
MacLelland is playing No. 6 singles for the Leopards and has a 6-9 singles record as well as a 5-8 doubles mark at the No. 2 position on the ladder.
McAvoy has an 13-7 record at No. 4 singles and a 10-4 log at No. 2 doubles for the Rams.
MacLelland was also a starting forward on the Phoenixville boys basketball team that captured the PAC-10 title in 2006-07. That team also finished third in District 1 Class AAA competition and advanced to the second round of the state tournament under head coach Bill Detweiler.
