GPS Edges Baylor Netters

 

In another marathon match (4 hour, 45 minute) between GPS and Baylor, the host Bruisers edged the Red Raiders, 4-2, in a East/Middle Region tennis match Thursday.

 

With the win, GPS (7-2, 3-1) clinches second place in the region and an all important home match (state quarterfinals) next week against the No.3 team from the West Region. Baylor (9-4, 2-3) is fourth in the region and will travel to the West region champion for the quarterfinals.

 

Playing in the five singles, two doubles region format, GPS took a 3-0 lead with singles wins from Sarah Evans (No.1), Bronte Goodhue (No.2) and Lauren Schlabach (No.5).

 

Baylor then countered with a win at No.3 singles as Kelly Scruggs defeated Ann Elizabeth Holley who had to retire to due leg cramps in the first set tie-breaker. Scruggs led 3-1 in the tie-breaker.

 

Baylor pulled within one at 3-2 and forced the match to doubles as Sarah Berchuck rallied to defeat Meredith Morrow, 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 in a two hour, 45 minute match.

 

In the third set, the two players had six breaks of serve in the first eight games before Berchuck held serve for a 5-4 lead. She then broke Morrow in the 10th game for the win.

 

GPS clinched the win at No.1 doubles as Evans-Goodhue defeated Erika Marschall-Scruggs, 8-3.

 

???This was a tough, long match with Baylor as usual, and our players did well,'' said GPS coach Sue Bartlett. ???We had good wins at the top of our lineup and Lauren gave us a key win at five singles.''

 

Region Individual: The D-II East/Middle Region singles and doubles tournament for boys and girls will be held at McCallie Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's matches will go through the quarters, with semis being held Sunday morning and finals in the afternoon. The state tournament at MTSU is May 19-20 (team semis and finals), followed by singles and doubles on the 21st and 22nd.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
