‘Cane makes it a clean sweep of SBAAC tennis

0

WILMINGTON – The Hurricane was right at home on a windy day at the SBAAC American Division tennis tournament Wednesday on the WHS courts.

Wilmington completed its unbeaten season by winning the league tournament and claiming the outright and overall American Division championship.

WHS had 43 points while runnerup Western Brown finished with 32. Wilmington was 10-0 during the regular season.

Clinton-massie was fourth in the tournament with 25 points.

Clayton Amburgy was the top finisher for the Falcons, placing second at first singles. He was defeated by Wilmington’s Avery Bradshaw in the title match 6-7 (5-7), 2-6.

“I was happy the way our team competed on a very difficult day to play tennis,” CM coach Rod Amburgy said. “The wind was bad. Clayton played very well. All but one of our positions picked up wins today.”

Bradshaw earned one of four bracket championships for Wilmington on the day. He had, by far, the toughest opponent in the title match, holding off Amburgy for the title.
