Montour’s Dynamic Duo Gears Up for Tennis Championship

In the charming city of Montour, excitement is palpable as local tennis stars Jonah Camardese and Trey Varga prepare to swing into action at the highly anticipated 2025 WPIAL Class 2A Boys Tennis Doubles Championship. The talented pair has earned the No. 12 seed among a competitive field of 16 teams, and they’re ready to make their mark on the court.

Facing a Tough Challenge

As they gear up for their first match, Camardese and Varga are set to take on the formidable No. 4 seeds, Cody Clayton and Hunter Hazelwood from Central Valley. This will be no walk in the park, but the Montour team is ready to give it their all. With Camardese being a seasoned junior and Varga a promising sophomore, they bring a combination of experience and youthful energy to their game.

Last year, Camardese showcased his incredible talent by clinching the doubles championship with teammate John Rohrkaste, putting Montour on the map by defeating a strong pair from Sewickley Academy. Their victory featured a nail-biting match against Jackson Quigley and Tejas Mitra. This year, even with a different partner, Camardese’s competitive spirit remains unshaken as he eyes another championship run.

Aiming for Glory

While their journey continued into the PIAA tournament last year, where they faced off against Cole Stolzfus and Hayden Winey of Pequea Valley, the experience only made them tougher competitors. Now, with Varga by his side, Camardese is more motivated than ever to claim victory once again.

As defending champions, South Park’s Jonah Jasek and Steven Duing are the top seeds in this year’s tournament, and all eyes will certainly be on them. But Camardese and Varga have the fire to surprise the crowd and compete with the best.

Tournament Details

The preliminary matches leading up to the semifinals will occur at North Allegheny High School, where fans will gather to see some thrilling tennis action. The excitement will reach its peak on Wednesday when both the consolation final and championship matches take the spotlight at Bethel Park High School, kicking off at 1 p.m. Sharp! The top three teams in this class will advance to the prestigious PIAA tournament scheduled for May 23-24 at Hershey Racquet Club.

Recent Performances

Recently, the dynamic duo of Camardese and Varga proved their mettle by winning their initial matches at the Section 2 tournament. However, they faced a setback in the semifinals against a strong pair from South Park. To cap off their efforts, they emerged victorious to claim third place following a solid win over Vincent Chen and Collin Zheng from Seton LaSalle.

On the flip side, Montour partners Dominic Passaro and Braden Kulak had a rocky start, losing their first match to Mike Stasko and Luke Wallace of Ringgold. Same goes for Carlynton’s doubles teams, including Max Klein–Leo Shorthouse and Ian Robb–Hayden Wertz, who had a mixed bag of results, winning their initial matches but falling in the quarterfinals. In the Class 3A Section 2 tournament, brothers Nolan and Adam Jaczcar from Moon showed promise before bowing out in the quarterfinals.

A Community Behind Them

The community of Montour is rallying behind Camardese and Varga as they head into this exciting chapter of their tennis journey. With a mix of anticipation and hope, everyone is excited to see how this dynamic duo performs on the big stage. Will they rise to the occasion and bring home another championship? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – they’re ready to give it their all!
