Trojans Defeated by Bearcats
Our last regular season match didn't go exactly as we had hoped tonight at cross town rival Rock Hill High. We played good at some lines and not so good at others. The match was tied 3 matches each and the #1 doubles point had to be played to decide it. We came up just short in that match and went home with the loss.
Hunter Love shined tonight at #3 singles. He defeated a normally very consistent player in Silverman of the Bearcats fairly easily. However, what I enjoyed about watching the match was Hunter's ability to finish strong and not let off the gas.
Jordan Beaver was back to his normal ways at #5 singles. Jordan surrendered one game in the first set before a shutout in the second against Adams from Rock Hill High.
Our dependable doubles duo of Michael Baldwin and Collins Mauldin claimed our third win on the night. They played a much more aggressive and controlling doubles match than in our previous encounter with the Bearcats. The score reflected it as they gave only 3 games up in route to the win.
Well, playoffs are the next focus for this team. All we know at this point is that we are the #3 seed out of Region 3-AAAA. Our first round opponent will be the #2 seed out of Region 4-AAAA and there is a 2nd place tie there between Blythewood & Rock Hill. I am unsure if their tiebreaker system is the same as ours. If it is the same we likely will get a 3rd match up against Rock Hill. We should know by the weekend and will focus tomorrow on challenge matches & Monday on practicing for whoever we shall face.

Trojans Defeat South Pointe on Senior Night
Tonight was more than just a match as it was the last time that Drayton Wade, Michael Baldwin, and Tyler Leonard will suit up on the Northwestern courts for the tennis program. These three young men have been terrific for me to work with and I learned in their remarks after the match that their memories will be much more about the off the court stuff than the matches they played.What I will remember about these three is how hard they worked in practice every day. Sure, I'll remember Drayton's win over Clover to seal the win for us. I'll also remember Michael going 9-1 in region matches this year. I will remember Tyler winning every match he played this year. However, I will remember these three as asking me multiple times for help on their g
ames & I will remember them working with me and on their own to get better.
ames & I will remember them working with me and on their own to get better.All three seniors were victorious in their singles matches tonight. Drayton held down the top spot tonight for us. Michael played the number three spot and won a well played second set after a somehwat frustrating first set. Tyler played the 5th singles spot and won it fairly handily as well.
The win improves our overall record to 11-4. We have one regular season match remaining to prepare for the post season at Rock Hill HS on Wednesday. We did defeat the Bearcats previously 4 matches to 2, however I am hopeful that we are able to reverse our fortune in the 2 matches that were dropped.
The playoffs will start next Monday. I still am unsure of whether we'll be seeded 3rd 
or 4th out of our region. It will come down to who is declared the 1 & 2 seeds. If Nation Ford is declared #1, we will be #3 since we have a victory over them. However, if Fort Mill is declared the #1, Clover will get the #3 since they have a victory over them and we do not. The drama will be played out at the end of the week & I will know for sure where we go by the weekend. I'll let everyone know as soon as I know.
