Dominion Guys Land a Huge Win
by Stephen Van Gorp
On Thursday the guys Knights tennis team
made a huge victory at Riverside Military Academy. All playing lines
went on at once and the matches started very quickly. Matthew Jackson
and Stephen Van Gorp were the first to finish with a 10-1 victory
at number one doubles. Soon after were all singles lines with Austin
Gentry finishing with a victory, but both one and two singles suffered
losses. All the weight of the match was thrown on the shoulders of
Matt Keyt and Alex Pedigo at two doubles. The already were down 6-2
when they realized that they were the last match in progress. They
quickly rallied back to make the score 8-8, and then finished it off
with a 10-8 win. Both players were pumped at their huge comeback and
were shocked to realize that the entire match was based on them. Matt
shared his sentiments after the match, “I’m really glad
that we didn’t know that the match depended on us. Things definitely
might’ve turned out different if we had known that there was
that much pressure on us.” This victory was huge for the knights
and allowed them to seal a 4-0 team record for the season which will
help lead them well into their match against NCCS for the region championship.
