LEXINGTON — The No. 2 ranked Corbin doubles duo of Quinn Maguet and Nate Hill advanced to the KHSAA Boys’ State Tennis Tournament doubles semifinals with two impressive wins on Wednesday.
Maguet and Hill cruised to an easy 6-0, 6-3 win in the Round of 16 before picking up a 6-3, 6-3 victory in quarterfinals play. They will play St. X’s Aditya Shah and Walker Bush in semifinal action on Thursday at 10 a.m.
“Today was quite the day for Corbin boys’ tennis,” Corbin coach Eric Maguet said, “The state’s No. 2 team continued their quest for a state championship as we beat Louisville Eastern this morning 6-0, 6-3 and Covington Catholic 6-3, 6-3 this afternoon in the quarterfinals.
“To say we are excited would be an understatement, especially beating Covington Catholic,” he added. “To put it mildly, they are a rowdy bunch, so to take them down was just thrilling. Not much rest until we meet St. X tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. in the semifinals. The boys had a slow start losing their first 2 games, but came alive in a big way.”
