Joseph Sadler
It might be a small thing, but it was a first for local prep sports on Tuesday as the 2 middle schools in Manchester met on the tennis courts for the first ever meeting between the 2 teams in tennis. Westwood, in its 2nd season as a program, played host to Coffee County Middle School, in its 1st season as a program, on Tuesday at Fred Deadman Park. In a fitting tribute, the boys’ match was decided by a pair of tiebreakers in the doubles competition.
Luz Marie Basurto
The Coffee County doubles team of Joseph Sadler and Zach Leroux got a 7-5 tie-breaker win over Jaret Kemper and Caleb Simmons to clinch the match win for the Raiders. In girls’ play, the Lady Raiders swept all 6 matches to claim the first girls win in program history. The Westwood tennis teams plays at Lewisburg on Wednesday at 3:45 PM while the Coffee Middle teams will travel to St. Andrews-Sewanee on Friday for a 4 PM match. Complete Results are:
