The Trojans finished with 20 points, Grandville 17, Rochester 9 and St. Francis 2. St. Francis was a late add, replacing Plymouth Salem in the field.

Grandville won the top three singles flights. It was all Central after that.

Garrett Kosch captured No. 4 singles for the Trojans, beating Rochester (6-4, 6-1), St. Francis (injury default) and Grandville (6-0, 6-0).

Grandville's Matt Hamilton, Zach Rabitoy and Chase Simsa went 3-0 to win the first three singles flights.

Central's Peter Pappas and Skyler Norgaard were 2-1 at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Daniel Fedor was 1-2 at No. 3.

St. Francis picked up wins from Sam Holmes at No. 1 singles and Patrick Burke and Evan Primeau at No. 4 doubles.

The Trojans will host Northville, Jenison and Holly in a Kickoff Tournament on Saturday.
