LONDON — North Laurel’s boys’ and girls’ tennis teams hooked up in competitive matches with rival South Laurel, and managed to come away with a sweep.
The Jaguars defeated the Cardinals, 5-4, while the Lady Jaguars picked up a 6-3 win over the Lady Cardinals.
“Wow! The boys match was a thriller,” North Laurel coach Bobby Smith said. “South has a good team, so really proud of the boys to scratch out this win. They got us 5-4 last time, and we were fortunate to get them 5-4 this time. We finished with singles, and it all came down to Finn’s court. He started out slow, but he really finished strong. Really happy for him. Jackson, Jasper, and Colton came up big to give us the opportunity at the end. Huge win for the boys.”
