LONDON — Both Corbin, and North Laurel hooked up in a classic tennis showdown with the Redhounds coming away with a slim 6-3 victory.
“The boys’ (team) were just a couple 9-7 losses from pulling off the upset, so I was proud of our effort,” North Laurel coach Bobby Smith said. “No matter who you are, we’re going to compete – that’s a given. Zaid (Salim) was down and out in his singles match, and he made a great comeback to pull it out in a superbreaker. Great win for him. And Finn (McArdle) followed up his South heroics by avenging a loss to Tanner (Smallwood) in our first matchup.”
