On Friday, the CHS lady hornets' tennis team participated in the
annual Benton Tennis Tournament where they captured fifth overall as
a team, and every player left with a winning record for the day. The
format of the day consisted of three team mini-duals where
Chillicothe faced off against Maryville, Cameron, and Trenton. The
team fielded five entries -- two singles' players and three doubles'
pairs -- where each mini-dual consisted of five matches in a Pro8
with Ad format.
In the first head-to-head match of the day, the lady
hornets faced the lady spoofhounds, where they were originally up on
all five courts. However, Maryville battled back to squeak past
Chillicothe winning 3-2 as a team. Then, Chillicothe started firing
on all cylinders and beat Cameron 5-0 and finally beat Trenton 4-1.
This left the team with a 2-1 record on the day overall and fifth
place medals to bring home. Individual results were as follows:
Singles #1 -- senior Micah Crowe -- beat Maryville 9-7, beat Cameron
8-4, lost to Trenton 1-8
Singles #2 -- senior Keonnia Morgan -- lost to Maryville 7-9, beat
Cameron 8-3, beat Trenton 8-3
