Signal Mountain tennis coach Jordan Willcut felt good about his boys’ team’s chances to make it to Murfreesboro this season.
He felt good about it after the addition of two players in the preseason. He felt even better about it after seeing how his team competed against Christian Academy of Knoxville in some matches at the prestigious Rotary tournament.
And now that the Eagles have accomplished getting there, they are ready for the next step at the state tournament.
Signal Mountain is one of eight area programs participating in today’s state semifinals at the Old Fort Tennis Complex in Murfreesboro. The Eagles play Christ Presbyterian Academy in the A/AA semifinals at 2 p.m. EDT, the same time CAK faces Trinity Christian.
Both Baylor teams, Girls Preparatory School and McCallie are in the Division II-AA fields, and Chattanooga Christian’s girls are in the A/AA semifinals with Soddy-Daisy’s girls in the AAA final four.
