On Monday afternoon the Boiling Springs tennis team improved their record in region play to 3-1 by defeating Gaffney 5-1 in a makeup match to continue their pursuit of a 5A playoff spot.
"Coming from one of the strongest regions in the state to this one a being able to hold our own we're putting ourselves in great position to be considered for the playoffs in three or four years," said Bulldogs head coach Caleb Weathers. "After defeating Clover twice and coming away with this victory tonight we feel pretty good about our chances right now." Boiling Springs got the afternoon started with a victory in number one singles as the Bulldogs lone senior Rishi Patel defeated Gaffney's Anson Chau (6-3, 6-4). Coach Weathers said that the leadership that Patel has brought to the team has been key to their success this season and the foundation being built for years to come. "He's just a natural leader and everybody just looks up to him," said Weathers. "I tell them being successful at this sport you have to put in more than I can give you in just the two hours of practice we get each day and he has taken that to heart setting up a group text among the team, including our JV players, to meet up every weekend and playing tennis. I was gone during spring break but those guys all got together throughout the break to compete and get better which is a direct result of his leadership." Cam Beckstrom came away with a win in number two singles with a (6-1, 6-1) victory over Luke Hagle. Seth Evans and Nate Miller both came away with straight set victories (6-0, 6-0) in both the number three and number five singles in their respected matches on Monday afternoon. The Bulldogs number two doubles team of Robert Raynor and Sam Corbitt also came away with a straight set victory (6-0, 6-0) over Gaffney's Brandon Shiflett and Peyton Bingham. Boiling Springs will look to continue their push to the playoffs on Tuesday afternoon when they travel to Fort Mill for another region matchup. Comments are closed.
