Chrisman Tennis Falls to North Kansas City
The tone for the Chrisman/North Kansas City dual was set during the beginning doubles matches.
"North Kansas City just did an excellent job of angling shots away from the net players and used a variety of spin shots to move my teams around," said coach Jason Grubb.
When the doubles smoke cleared, William Chrisman began singles play in a 0-3 hole. In singles play, juniors Atlanta Petty and Juliette Anderson won gutsy matches for their teammates.
"All day long it we just couldn't close out matches. It was brutal to watch such good tennis play end with tough 5-8 or 6-8 match defeats," according to Grubb.
The #3 doubles team of Anderson and Freshman Nicole Eppert lost a deuce point at the end of a 6-8 loss.
The #2 team of Ally Cook and Celeste Cummins also lost 6-8.
"Of course, with how close the defeats were, both Cook and Cummins each lost their singles matches by 5-8 or 6-8 scores. Unfortunately, the competitive edge did not break our way today. But our girls will continue to grow and learn from these close losses to help them in their future years at Chrisman," Grubb said.
