Bowie tennis almost wins first match
The Bowie tennis team came up just short on Tuesday of winning its first match of the season while playing at Hirschi.
The Jackrabbits came up one game short, losing by the narrowest margin 10-9.
Playing against another bigger and more experienced program, Bowie did not let that intimidate them heading into the match and the results showed it.
Coming out of all of the doubles games, the Jackrabbits were ahead of Huskies 4-3. Unfortunately, Hirschi just came out ahead in the singles games to take the match.
The girl’s doubles teams in the second position, featuring Laney Enlow/Alyssa Airington, and the third position, featuring Caysen Latham and Gentry Gray, both won their games. The second team won 8-5 and the third team 8-2.
The boy’s doubles team in the third position featuring Alex Castro and Brooks Gray dominated in their win with the score being 8-0.
The mixed doubles team of Gavyn Brown and Leah Cantrell won their game to put Bowie on top early on.
The singles matches did not go the Jackrabbits way in the end.
On the boy’s side, Castro and Gray also won their singles games in the fifth and sixth position dominantly.
On the girl’s side, Lily Hodges won her singles match in the third position in what was the only close singles match that went to the Jackrabbits, winning 8-6.
Latham and Gray then cleaned up with dominant wins in the fifth and sixth position.
