 Everything we do, conditioning, competing in tournaments such as DecoTurf and the Chattanooga Rotary points to winning the state and we did that again this year.â€

MURFREESBORO - Another state tourney for the Baylor School girls and another state championship trophy.

 

The Red Raiders posted its second, 4-0, win in two days with a whitewash of Hutchison in today’s D-II AA final at the Old Fort Park Tennis Complex for the programs sixth straight state title and 10th overall.

 

“We knew we were the prohibitive favorite coming into Spring Fling and I feel we were well prepared for the pressure of having a big bulls eye on our backs,†said Baylor coach Dustin Kane. “We never take anything for granted and have worked since early August for this week.
 

“it’s great to win DecoTurf which is a strong tournament, but we use that event as a measuring stick on where we are at that time of the season. Everything we do, conditioning, competing in tournaments such as DecoTurf and the Chattanooga Rotary points to winning the state and we did that again this year.â€

 

Baylor won the doubles point and then added singles wins by No.2 Karolina Hadaka, No.3 Presley Thomas and No.5 Ashton Jenne to secure the 4-0 victory.

 

Need a Larger Trophy Case: Baylor athletics director Thad Lepcio might have to call drama department and have the students bring out the hammer and nails and build an extention to the trophy case for newest hardware.
