Staff reports Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Mon Mar 04, 2013, 11:10 PM CST

TULSA — The Acers won two championships (Gabrielle Dick, No. 2 singles and Kathryn Dillingham and Alexandra Dick, No. 1 doubles) on their way to winning the championship at the Union March Tour-nament Monday.

Enid had 53 points to outdistance Edmond North (51) for the team title. Cascia Hall was third with 48, while Tulsa Kelley was fourth with 45.

Alexis Blasi was eighth at No. 1 singles, while Sav-annah Blasi and Madison Blevins were fourth at No. 2 doubles.

“It was a very good day,’’ said Enid coach Darrell Herndon. “We still have a lot of work to do, but winning is always pretty nice.’’

Jenks, which won its own tournament Saturday, was not at Union Monday. EHS was second at Jenks.

Gabrielle Dick raised her record to 8-0, beating Reynolds Chew of Metro Christian 6-0, 6-4 in the finals. She lost only 11 games on the day.

“She is pretty well dominating that division,’’ Herndon said.

Dick and Dillingham lost only seven games on the day, beating an Edmond North team 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals and a Kelley team 6-3, 6-0 in the finals. They are 7-1 overall.

“That should help their seedings,’’ Herndon said. “I expect some teams will still be making some changes. We’ll see what happens in May (state tournament).’’

Savannah Blasi and Blevins lost their semifinal and finals in straight sets after losing only four games in winning their first two matches. They are now 5-3 overall.

Alexis Blasi had a couple of near misses at No. 1, losing a split-setter to Broken Arrow’s Courtney Coon, 2-6, 7-6, 10-0 in the quarterfinals and to Nicolle Hoose of Cascia Hall, 6-1, 7-6 in the next match. She is now 2-6 overall.

“She just needs a few more inches to push it over the top,’’ Herndon said. “She was pretty worn out by her last match (6-4, 6-1 loss to Mallory Brookover of Tulsa).’’

The girls’ next tournament will be Friday at Muskogee.

The EHS boys will go to Union today and to Muskogee on Saturday.

Lunt transferring to Illinois
Former Oklahoma State starting quarterback Wes Lunt is transferring to Illinois, returning to his home state after giving the Illini little consideration out of high school.
Lunt is from Rochester, Ill., and started five games last season as a freshman for the Cowboys, but was sidelined by an injury. He was the first true freshman to open the season as the starting quarterback at Oklahoma State since at least 1950.
The highly regarded Lunt will have to sit out this fall under NCAA transfer rules, but when he’s available in 2014 could be an instant upgrade for a struggling Illinois program and coach Tim Beckman, who is headed into his second season in Champaign. Beckman is a former OSU assistant coach.

Spurs take 3-2 lead in series
Manu Ginobili had 24 points and 10 assists in a surprise start to spark the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Sunday night, pushing the Spurs one victory away from their fifth championship.
Danny Green scored 24 points and broke Ray Allen’s finals record for 3s in a series with 25. Tony Parker had 26 points for San Antonio.
LeBron James scored 25 points on 8-for-22 shooting for the Heat and Dwyane Wade had 25 points and 10 assists. But the Heat missed 21 of their first 29 shots to fall behind by 17 points in the second quarter of another uninspired performance.
Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Miami.

Rose ends English drought at Open
A steady hand gave Justin Rose the shiny U.S. Open Trophy. A wild ride gave Phil Mickelson yet another silver medal.
Rose captured his first major championship on Sunday with remarkable calm and three pure shots on the punishing closing holes at Merion. A par on the 18th hole gave him an even-par 70, and that was good enough to become the first Englishman in 43 years to win America’s national championship.
Rose hit 5-iron to the first cut of rough, pin-high on the 17th for an easy par. He smashed the most important tee shot of his career down the middle on the final hole, about 15 feet short of the famous Ben Hogan plaque. And his 4-iron rolled near the pin and settled against the collar of the green.
