Head Coach Greg Talley was playing a match for the first time in his two years without his #1 seed and Son, Jabin Talley. The younger Talley is fighting a sizable blister on his hand ✋and hopefully will be able to return to action 🎬 next week.

When a tennis 🎾 team is forced to play without its number one seed it forces each player ranked below to move up one spot. It also breaks up the normal doubles teams.

Here is the recap from Mr. T

Tough loss today at Radford 2-7 . Jabin missed his first match in over 3 years today with the nagging
Injury to his hand and Everybody had to play out of
Order in singles and with different partners in doubles .

Ethan played a 2 hour marathon at no. 1 . Came back from 3-6 to win 9-7 .
Paul lost at no. 2 1-8
Phoenix held on at no. 3 for a 9-7 win
Garrison lost at no. 4 1-8
Louis came close at no. 5 before falling 6-8
Ian playing his first match lost 0-8

Ethan and Paul lost at no. 1 doubles 3-8
Phoenix and Louis lost at no. 2 2-8
