Region and State Review
by Stephen Van Gorp

The region tournament ended up being very eventful with four of Dominion’s tennis lines making it to the semifinals. The Dominion girls doubles had both of their teams make it to the region finals and there was a huge upset with the number two doubles of Katie Hammond and Abby Rives beating the number one doubles of Chelcie Griffith and Heather Graham. The match was closely contested with the girls going to three sets, but the freshman sophomore duo pulled through with the victory. Also, representing the singles for guys, was Michael Besch who made it to the semifinals and ended up being the number four seed from the region in the state tournament. Matthew Jackson and Stephen Van Gorp came through once again as the region tournament winners for doubles with a three set victory over the number one doubles from Riverside Military Academy.
Also the State Individual Tournament started on April 16 and the Dominion tennis team made the long haul down to Tifton to play in it. Katie Hammond and Abby Rives made an excellent showing for their first State appearance by winning their first match in two sets, but they unfortunately lost their second match in a three setter. Also Heather Graham and Chelcie Griffith played in the State Tournament, but they unfortunately lost in their first match in a three set struggle. Michael Besch also lost his first match to a number one seed from Mount de Sales. Also Matthew Jackson and Stephen Van Gorp won their first match of the tournament in two sets, but lost their second match to Westminster’s number two doubles. Although these matches ended the season, the players played very well over all and are looking to make another strong attempt at next year’s state tournament.
