Cannon County had no love for the DeKalb County tennis team, beating them 15-love, sweeping the Tiger team on their home court this past week.

In men’s action, top seeded Lance Davis was almost close enough to taste victory, losing 9-7 to Luke Jakes while Eli Cantrell was defeated by Brady Cunningham, 8-3. Barrett Hayes rounded out the rout in men’s singles, losing to Cannon County’s Brandon Miles, 6-8. Davis and Cantrell lost the sole men’s doubles match, 1-8.

Women’s action went no better for DeKalb as they were swept by the very good Cannon County squad. Top seeded Tiger Faith Judkins was beaten 8-0 by Taylor Meeks, Hannah McBride was shutout by Dani Waisenen, 8-0; Kaley Padilla was blanked by Ashlyn Nokes, 8-0 and Ashlee Thompson lost to Lauren Underwood, 1-8. Meanwhile, Shelby Clayborn lost to Julianna Schan, 0-8, Katie Colwell lost to Tyger Kennedy, 1-8; Said Driver fell to Brandi Mason, 0-8, Daisy Hernandez lost to Ada Harwood, 3-8 and Ellie Webb couldn’t get past Jenna McMackins, losing 1-8.

The girl’s teams also fell in doubles, Judkins/McBride and Clayborn/Thompson both losing 2-8.

The tennis squads next play at Rhea County on March 21 and then come home to play host to Watertown on March 22.
