Dominion has a good showing at first region match
by Stephen Van Gorp

Dominion Christian had their first home region match of the season on Tuesday against George Walton, and had very good results. The boys team had a 3-2 win, but the girls had a well fought 2-3 loss. The guys had a very good showing from their number one singles player, Michael Besch, who played a great match against a senior from George Walton and captured the victory at 10-4. Also, Austin Gentry played a great match and had a 10-3 victory at number two singles. Matthew Jackson and Stephen Van Gorp had a fairly difficult match at number one doubles, but made their way back to win it 10-7. Although the Knights suffered two losses at two doubles and singles, they were still able to capture their first region victory of the season and have also built up confidence in themselves as a team to go all the way.

The Lady Knights Tennis Team also had great matches on Tuesday. One of the biggest thrillers was Charley Clyburn’s comeback from 1-7 to steal the victory at 11-9. However this victory, combined with the number one doubles victory for the Knights, wasn’t enough to win the match, but the girls have gotten a lot more experience and are now better motivated to go on with the rest of their region matches with a persevering attitude.
