Gage Atteberry and Cameron Courty competed in doubles at the state finals yesterday, they were matched up against 2 seniors from Arlington Heights and fell 6-1, 6-0. They then battled a sophomore and freshman from Sacred-Griffin Heart, losing 6-0 and 6-3.
Conner Colman fell to a freshman from Champaign St. Thomas More 6-1, 6-0 and a junior from Chicago DePaul College Prep 6-0, 6-0.
It truly goes to show how intense competition is when you reach the state level.
