Trojans Wrap up Regular Season at Spartanburg

We traveled over to Spartanburg Country Club to battle Spartanburg High School in our final regular season match. I wouldn't say we played our best tennis, but I am encouraged by the improvement we showed against a talented Spartanburg team. We dropped all our matches in straight sets, but overall we challenged one of the better upstate teams and their coach was very complimentary in how we've come along since our first meeting. The girls also got a chance to experience a Spartanburg landmark in our post match dinner at The Beacon.

We'll practice the next few days in preparation for our opening round playoff match next Tuesday. The region coaches will meet Wednesday night at Clover High School to confirm our positions and vote on all region players. We should know our opponent by Friday (Monday at the latest) and I assume we will either be traveling to Blythewood or Lancaster on Tuesday 10/28. Lancaster and Blythewood play tonight at Lancaster in a match that will decide their region champion...that's a pretty close race over there! Here is a link to the AAAA handbook if you are interested, page 28 has the bracket: http://www.schsl.org/2008/2008-2009%20AAAA%20handbook.pdf
