Tennis team loses two WAC matches
Smoky Mountain’s tennis team finished its inaugural season 1-9 with a pair of Western Athletic Conference losses last week.
West Henderson took an 8-1 win Sept. 29 at West, and Pisgah was a 9-0 winner two days later in the final home match at Mark Watson Park.
“We had a great season,” Coach Rebecca Moore said. “My goal for the year was to win at least one match which we did. For a brand new team with the majority never playing before, they have exceeded my expectations. I am very proud of them, and they have come a long way from where they began.”
Emily Butcher, SM’s #1 seed, defeated West’s Kaylin Waldrop 10-5.
Other singles matches, all won by the Lady Falcons, included:
Jessica Tobin over Leslie Schallock 10-2, #2; Breana Fuentes over Alyssa Walawender 10-1, #3; Elizabeth Huntley over Ashley Baggett 10-1, #4; Chandler Coleman over Allie Garrett 10-2, #5; and Madison Slagle over Sheridan Wilson 10-7, #6.
