Shop\u201d as well as on the Astound TV Network, so I wanted to be sure we touch on some of the other great sports action that has been going on in our coverage areas over the last couple of weeks in the other ATVN viewing areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, hats off to our Lehigh Valley tennis champions as the District XI Doubles Finals was recently held at Parkland High School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2A Finals, the number three seed, Armaan Makwana and Anthony Barczynski (Bethlehem Catholic HS) defeated Will Menichelli and Ford Koch (Moravian Academy) with final scores of 6-0, 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 3A Finals, the top-ranked team of Dan Zolatarev and Fyodor D&#8217;Souza (Parkland) defeated #2 Shayaan Farhad and Roman Farhad (Liberty), 6-2, 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations to these local tennis champions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other local teams claiming District XI titles in our coverage area over the last week include the Northampton volleyball and the Central Catholic and Freedom boys and Emmaus and Southern Lehigh girls lacrosse teams.\u00a0 The Vikings and Spartans were both the defending champions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For both Freedom and Emmaus, it was their first district title in their programs\u2019 history (for Freedom, it was the first time a school in Northampton County won a district championship).\u00a0 We\u2019ve been in contact with the head coaches of both the Patriots\u2019 and Green Hornets\u2019 programs and plan to have them on the June 9th edition of \u201cSportsTalk\u201d next Thursday on ATVN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baseball and softball champions will also be crowned over the next few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the DMV, the Washington, DC public schools athletic department announced the following honors for their track-and-field teams:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Girls Outdoor Track Runner of the Year:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jacqueline Braxton &#8211; Roosevelt HS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Boys Outdoor Track Runner of the Year:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jahari Miller &#8211; Wilson HS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Girls Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year:<\/strong> Nadia Lytle &#8211; SWW HS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Boys Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year:<\/strong> Morris Walker &#8211; SWW HS<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, congratulations to McKinley High School for winning the 2022 team boys track championship and to Wilson for winning the girls title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, the eastern Pennsylvania outdoor summer basketball season tipped off a few weeks ago.\u00a0 Here are some pictures that I took on the courts (see if you recognize any of these local athletes in action).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
