Tennis Sub-District results at Jackson High School

Shorecrest's Ben Silber and Reed Tangeman are the WesCo South Doubles Champions and qualified to play in the district tournament next week at Arlington at 1p. Start date will either be 10/22 or 10/23.

Since the two of them had a first round bye, they had to wait almost 4 hours before playing their first match, so their legs were a bit stiff. Despite waiting so long, they found a way to prevail. As the tournament continued and the competition improved, they picked up their game and continued to win.

In the finals, they were able to defeat the champions from last year in a 3 set battle. Ben hit numerous aces and quality groundstrokes and Reed destroyed his opponents with topspin lobs and high-powered jump serves.
