A fabulous regular season came to a bit of a disappointing end for Caldwell County’s girls doubles entry into the state tennis tournament. Chasie Phelps and Hana Dixon had dominated play across the 2nd Region on their way to winning the regional championship.
Thursday, at the Girls State Tennis Tournament at the Lexington Tennis Club, the young Caldwell County duo ran into the tough draw of an experienced, veteran doubles team from Ryle High School. Dixon and Phelps’ first round match was against Alyssa Igyarto and Amanda Shane.
Igyarto and Shane took control of the match early, and advanced to the second round with a 6-1, 6-0 win.
