Palm Springs CA--

Donald Young and Jamie Hunt, the top seeds, rolled over the second seeded team of Kellen Damico and Nate Schnugg 6-1, 6-3 to claim the 2006 ITF Easter Bowl doubles championship.

Although Young collected his third Easter Bowl singles title earlier Sunday, he hadn't won a doubles championship in Palm Springs. Hunt, on the other hand, has now claimed a doubles title in the 14s, 16s and 18s age divisions at the Easter Bowl.

Damico and Schnugg, the 2006 Australian Junior Open doubles finalists and longtime partners, could not get their game on track in the gusty winds, while Hunt and Young, playing together for the first time, played solid and consistent tennis.

"It was our goal to play this well," said Young, "so we're happy about it."

"It helps to have a partner like Donald Young," Hunt said. "No, it was all Jamie," Young countered.

The girls doubles final saw Madison Brengle and Kristy Frilling, the fifth seeds, triumph over sixth seeds Sanaz Marand and Ashley Weinhold 6-3, 6-4.
