Trophy News From York, Nebraska
Add another piece of hardware to the growing York High tennis trophy case. York High School head tennis coach Josh Budler was recently awarded the 2007-08 NSAA Tennis Coach of the Year award. The honor is Budler’s first. Budler won the award after leading the squad to the Class B state championship last season.
Despite his recent success with the Dukes, Budler is fairly new to the sport.
“I went to Concordia University in 1999 to play soccer,” he explained. “I made some great friends that were on the tennis team. After playing some with them, they talked me into trying the sport out. I haven’t looked back since.”

Two Canadian tennis players, Peter Polansky and Erik Chvojka added more hardware to their growing trophy collections at separate tournaments around the world.
Polansky, the top seed at the Guatemala F1 Futures tournament, captured his second consecutive singles title and trophy at the event in a victory over No. 3 seed Marcel Felder of Uruguay.
Over in Europe, Chvojka collected his fifth career doubles title with a victory at the Portugal F1 Futures event in Albufeira. He and partner Denys Molchanov (Ukraine), the No. 3 seeds, pulled off a stunning victory over the fourth-seeded Dutch duo of Bas Van Der Valk and Boy Westerhof in the final to capture the trophy.
Lorne Main is Canada’s most decorated senior tennis player. He captured his 11th world singles trophy in the men’s 75 event at the Super-Seniors World Individual Championships on Sunday. He is now tied with Marie Pinterova of Hungary for the most world singles titles in history.
The triumph caps of a remarkable two weeks for Main in New Zealand. Prior to his singles victory, Main teamed up with Ken Sinclair to win the gold medal in the Bitsy Grant Cup at the World Team Championships. It was their third consecutive triumph at the tournament and 12th title overall since 1990.
Main and Sinclair weren’t the only ones to return home with awards at the team tournament, as a pair of Canadian teams captured bronze tennis medals at the event. In the Gardnar Mulloy Cup, Glenn Ramage, Mike Koci and Ken Reardon topped the New Zealand team in their final match while Rosemarie Asch, Huguette Fontaine and Joyce Jones defeated the team from Australia in their 3-4 playoff of the Queen’s Cup. For Asch and Jones, it was their third straight medal at the event as they won bronze last year and silver in 2005.
