It was the great escape from Bulloch to get these wins. We were missing starting players on our Girls and Boys teams. The boys match was especially close; it came down to our second doubles team of Kaminer and Boyd. They were down 3-4 in the third set and came back to win 6-4 to clinch the match. We had solid play from our girls singles, which kept our girls team rolling through the conference. Both the Boys and Girls teams improved to 3-0.

Go Knights!
