Ooltewah senior Bryson Lype knew that he and his Owls teammates were not entitled to anything Friday, so even though they were hosting their Region 3-AAA championship match against Cookeville and were favored, they still had to earn it.
They took only 90 minutes to do it.
The Owls secured the region team championship with a 4-1 victory over Cookeville and will host the Region 4-AAA champion next week.
Lype, his brother Braden, Kyle Molhusen and Richard Huynh won singles matches for the Owls (14-0).
“We didn’t want to go out there with the type of attitude that we were entitled to anything,” Bryson Lype said.
