MAVS Playoff Run Ends With Tough Loss at Mann
Your MAVS traveled to J. L. Mann as two of the Upstate's strongest teams looked to advance towards the State Boy's Tennis Championships. It was a tense battle with Mann taking a 3-1 lead, but Mauldin closed the gap to 3-2 on the strength of a 6-4, 6-3 win at #2 Doubles. This left two of the Upstate's highest ranked players locked in a ferocious fight at #1 singles. In the end, the MAVS, Alan Pearce, fell just short in his bid to upset J. L. Mann's Parks Schoen, 6-4, 3-6, 10-7. Congratulations to the MAVS on a great season! With only 2 seniors graduating, the future looks bright. Alan Pearce will represent the MAVS and Region 2 at the State Singles Championships and at the North-South All Star Tournament both coming later in May. Good Luck!
