2:05 – Match underway ! Welcome to the Elite Eight !!
Cavaliers drop 1st set, 6-0. Looking to rebound here in the second set.
As the #3 seed you are expecting to square off with the #2 seed in your Semi-final match but that won’t be the case for Jabin Talley and Ethan Richardson today as the #7 seed upset #2 in straight sets last Friday.
The Cavalier Duo is looking to make some CCHS Tennis πΎ history when they head back up to Blacksburg here in a few hours. If they win their Semi-final match they will more than likely run into the Top Seed from Christiansburg in the finals.
Semi π final play gets underway right after the Singles Finals concludes, with that match set for 11am.
