Both Donoho tennis teams score 9-0 victories; Providence Christian goes low, win Hoover tournament, White Plains’ Dyar top 10; softball scores, highlights
The weather warmed up and so did the tennis rackets of the Donoho boys and girls tennis teams Tuesday at the Anniston Country Club clay courts as they romped to a pair of 9-0 victories over Plainview.
The Donoho girls only allowed the Lady Bears to win one game in their nine matches, while winning 72 games. Emma Weidmer, Claire Hillman, Virginia Hutto, Lily Grace Draper and Mary Marshall Perry all won their singles matches 8-0, while Claire Walker won 8-1.
Weidmer-Hutto, Hillman-Draper and Walker-Perry won their doubles matches by 8-0 scores.
It was a good day for the boys as well as they won in dominating fashion.
Harrison Han, Gray Hanley and Reese McWhorter won their singles matches by 8-0 scores. Cooper Montgomery rolled 8-1 and Jack Ballard and Rhett Rigsby both took 8-2 wins.
The team of Montgomery-Hanley won in doubles 8-0, while Han-Rigsby won 8-1 and Ballard-McWhorter won 8-3.
“We played really well today as a team,” McWhorter said, summing up the day. “We all hit the ball real well and dominated at the net. We are trying to prepare ourselves for the future.”
The near future is Wednesday as both teams square off with county rival Faith at the Anniston Country Club. – Brant Locklier
