Jamestown High girls and boys tennis teams shined at the VHSL Class 4A Tournament by bringing home two regional championship team titles.
Jamestown has a lot to be proud of this season. The Jamestown girls and boys tennis teams made Jamestown Eagles Nation proud today. Over the last two days they have beaten three of the top teams in the 4A region. Both teams overcame many challenges to peak at the right time. Lower and upper classmen lead the team to make it a total team effort in one of the most dramatic victories at the Region 4A Tennis Tournament at the Huntington Tennis Center in Newport News, VA. After rain delays and several venue changes on Friday and Saturday, the Jamestown Eagles faced a great athletic team, Grafton High. It was a nail biter through the boys doubles round and Grafton High had the lead throughout the match as Jamestown tied for a tiebreaker match play. Once the boys doubles play started, Jamestown High (Squire/Sheriff) began pulling away from a very tough Grafton team to go on and win 6-4, 3-6, 6-0.
Jamestown High freshman, Julia Clark, won her first VHSL tournament singles and qualified for the VHSL state tournament which will take place on Monday, June 7 at Jamestown High School tennis courts. The stand-out athlete put in the work all season to get to the tournament before shining like a gold medal athlete in the girls’ singles title match. It didn’t take long for Julia to showcase her clear talent, eventually winning in straight sets against a great sophomore player, L. Lewis of Warhill High. Julia won the first set by a score of 6-3 and followed with a 6-3 win in the second set, earning the gold medal and the title of Class 4A Tennis Girls Singles Regionals Champion.
