“I’m very proud of Shane and Bennett,” head coach Rachelle Huxford said. “They had never played that team before and they played them well. In the first match they went to a long deciding tie breaker and had chances in the second match to win. If they get to play again at state, I think it could be another great matchup.”

Goren came into the finals as the top seed, while Borg outlasted Adelson’s Yahav Yakubovitz in a thrilling three-hour semifinals matchup, where he came from behind to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

“I know the semifinals took a lot out of Logan,” Huxford said. “Still this finish was better than last seasons and I know he was happy. We’re gif to practice hard this week and hopefully have another great weekend at state.”
