Region 1 fared especially well in the Class 6A girls tennis state tournament bracket, revealed by the UHSAA alongside the 4A bracket Thursday morning.

Nine players received first-round byes, and another six doubles pairings managed byes in their respective matchups in formulating the 6A postseason picture.

Weber’s Emberli Heap and Davis’ Olivia Roberts each managed top-five seeding in singles; Davis doubles pair Gentry Chapman and Grace Chapman also landed in the top five. Layton and Weber carry a combined 14 state qualifiers between singles and doubles.

All first-round matches for the 6A (Sept. 27) and 4A (Oct. 2) tournaments will be contested at Brighton High School. All remaining rounds are scheduled for Oct 2-4 at Liberty Park Tennis Center in Salt Lake City.
