Story by Coach
Chambers
The top two doubles courts started off slowly as
doubles #3 began in a tough back-and-forth match, but eventually,
the #1 doubles pair of Lexy Smith & Lydia Bonderer mounted an 0-2
comeback once they started attacking the net and alleys. After a bit
more back-and-forth, Smith & Bonderer took full charge of the match
and finished it quickly in the last few games. This was a key
doubles victory for the pair because it potentially aligns them to
be placed as the #1 seed in MEC doubles brackets on October 1st as a
preview of next week's individual district competition.
Unfortunately, even after stellar play by the remaining varsity
players, the team dropped the other two doubles matches, positioning
the team 1-2 going into Singles play.
Maryville proved to be backboards on every court in
their singles play. Even after incredibly long and grueling points,
the Lady Hornets struggled to best the Spoofhounds at deep rallys.
Eventually, Smith, Bonderer, Gatson, and Mathews dropped the top
four singles matches. On the last two courts, Chillicothe's #5 Anya
Moore and #6 Isabel Nagel battled through the closest matches of the
night to help the team snag two final team points in singles wins.
This ended the night with a 3-6 team score, positioning CHS 3rd in
the MEC, and moving the team to 8-10 on the season.
Results were as follows:
#1 Doubles -- Smith & Bonderer won 8-4 over Kora Grow & Kori Quinlin
#2 Doubles -- Gatson & Mathews lost 5-8 to Lindsey Deering & Vivian
