Our trip over to South Pointe was a pleasant one for the Trojans tonight. I was happy that we were able to claim all the matches and do so by playing our style and not letting up after we got big leads. I'm really looking forward to the next few matches against our region opponents, starting with Fort Mill on Thursday.
Hunter Love dropped 2 games in the first set before posting a shutout in the second at #2 singles and claimed the first line for us tonight.
The #2 doubles team of Collins Mauldin & Michael Baldwin dropped a game per set tonight and were the second team off the courts with a victory.
Drayton Wade had little trouble at #3 singles tonight and was able to claim a 6-0, 6-1 win for our third win of the night.
Jordan Beaver also only dropped one game in taking a 6-1, 6-0 victory at #5 singles. Jordan's win clinched the team victory tonight.
Seth Russell had little trouble tonight at #1 singles and controlled the pace of the match from beginning to end. His 6-1, 6-1 win gave us our 5th win of the night.
John Clark had some long points that made his match last longer than any of the initial 6 matches. His score was slanted in his favor heavily, but the points took good patience to control.
With the match in hand, we played a proset for the #1 doubles point. Jordan and Hunter were paired together and easily dismantled the South Pointe team 8-0.
Fort Mill is the next team on our radar and it will take a total team effort to take down the Yellow Jackets at their courts, where they have not dropped a region match in the last three seasons. We have the talent to make that happen this year, but it will only be possible with consistent good play from top to bottom as we had tonight.
Go Trojans!
