Trojans Finish Region in Tie for Third

We went to Gaffney and our match went almost as we expected. We played hard from beginning to end & took the match to increase our region record to 6-4 overall. Other region results tonight included Clover beating York 6-0 to finish tied with us at 6-4 in the region. The upset of the day was Fort Mill defeating Nation Ford 4 to 3 after playing the #1 doubles match. Fort Mill and Nation Ford finish as co-champions in the region & tiebreakers will have to be played out to determine playoff seeding.

Monday's match with South Pointe will be our senior night & we will have a little celebration afterwards to thank Drayton, Michael & Tyler for their contributions to Northwestern tennis over the years. All three boys will be playing singles matches against the Stallions as we will mix up the lineup some to have a good, fun match with our cross town rivals.

Go Trojans!
