The Rockbridge County High School boys tennis team picked up its fi rst t wo w ins of t he s eason o n the road last week, defeating Stuarts Draft 8-1 last Monday and cruising to a 9-0 win in its Valley District opener against Broadway last Tuesday.
“Both matches went really well,” said RC head coach Rebekah Butler. “I’m very proud of how my team played.”
Against Stuarts Draft, the Wildcats (2-3) won all three doubles matches and five of six singles matches. Draft ended the week at 0-3.
At Broadway, the Wildcats won decisively in nearly all of their matches. In the closest contest of the day, RC’s Matthew Feldman defeated Marshall Good 8-5 at No. 2 singles. Broadway ended the week at 1-5 overall and 0-1 in the Valley District.
Butler said it was “a lot of fun to play against Broadway and Stuarts Draft. Both have great teams. We’re excited to play both teams again later this season.”
RC was scheduled to play host to Stuarts Draft on Friday, but that match was postponed due to rain.
The Wildcats are on spring break this week and will return to action with a Valley District match at Harrisonburg on Tuesday before traveling to Lord Botetourt next Wednesday. Both matches are scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
