A bad news/good news situation with the boys state tennis tournaments this year. The bad news is that for the second consecutive year(and ninth consecutive on the large school side) no Ozarks team reached the final four. In class 2, the eventual state champions Rock Bridge eliminated first Glendale in sectionals 5-1, then Central in the quarterfinals 5-0. Central had advanced with a solid 5-1 win over Jefferson City in sectionals, but fell short of becoming the first Ozarks team to reach the final four of the large division since Glendale in 2001.
Same song second verse in class 1 with Pembroke Hill taking out Webb City 6-0 in sectionals, and Thomas Jefferson 5-0 in the quarterfinals on their way to the state title. Thomas Jefferson defeated Barstow 5-4 in their sectional match but missed out on the final four for the second consecutive year.
The good news is on the singles & doubles scene where half of the state titles were captured by Ozarks players. Continue reading 2010 Boys State Tennis
