Day two of
the district 11-AAA tennis action sees Independence send one
onto the next round.
Yesterday, the Eagles were finally able to play their 2nd
round district matches. However, many players played their
last matches of the season. Jake Turner and Brendan Foti
lost to the 4th seeded team from Ravenwood.
Shyan Escobar lost to the 4th seed from
Ravenwood. Jordan Jaszcz and Brooke Young were upset by
Franklin in a two hour marathon match. Kaleigh McCoy and
Liz Renzaglia lost to the tournament favorite Hopmayer
sisters from Brentwood.
But, the match of the
day was Hayley Mull of Independence. She prevailed with
the victory in "The longest match that I have ever
coach." Mull defeated Anthony from Ravenwood 4-6,
6-3, 7-6 (8-6) in a match that lasted over three hours.
"This was the first match on the court and by over an
hour, the last one off" according to Coach Balzer.
Mull will plays again Tuesday against the 2nd
seed from Brentwood, Qin.
