Oklahoma junior tennis well-represented at Brewer Team Cup
Four USTA Oklahoma junior tennis standouts and one Oklahoma coach earned selection to compete in the 2025 Level 1 Brewer Team Cup in Mobile, Alabama on March 1-4.
JohnPaul Huston, Skylar Kasday, Ronin Kasday and Lawson Prather all represented USTA Oklahoma.
In his fourth and final Brewer Team Cup, Prather competed and helped his team to a fourth-place finish. He also received a daily sportsmanship award at the event.
“This is one of my favorite tournaments ever,” Prather said. “I still keep in touch with the coaches that I had each year. They all had an impact on me.”
Edmond Center Court’s director of outreach and USTA Oklahoma DE&I chair, Caitlyn Sagraves, was selected alongside other national coaches to coach the top 32 players in the 14U, 16U and 18U age divisions from across the nation in the four-day event.
The Brewer Team Cup has historically been a challenging and intense tournament. Each of the age divisions are combined and separated into 16 teams for the competition. They then play matches in the college format, which includes playing both doubles and singles against another team.
There is a separate 12U Brewer Team Cup hosted the same weekend in Tucson, Arizona, where Caroline Creevey was selected to play.
“It was a great time; I loved competing on a team and having a coach to mentor and support me. I was able to make great memories and friends from all over the country,” Creevey said.
Added Sagraves: “The Oklahoma players competed and represented our state incredibly well on their respective teams. I am so proud of how they performed.”
In her debut as a Brewer Team Cup coach, Sagraves helped coach her team to an impressive third-place finish.
“It has truly been an honor to have been selected to coach at this event and special to be trusted to work with the top players in the country,” Sagraves said.
