Who are the top tennis teams in the 13th region going to be this year? Does anyone have any thoughts?

I beleive that North and South will both be down this year since they lost some of their better players. North lost their top two boys players which includes regional winner Sam Patterson, while South lost their top girls player in Shoko Fujio. I predict that as always Corbin will be on top in the boys and Middlesboro in the girls.

I would agree with Corbin's boys being the team to beat but don't overlook Clay County's girls. They lost last year's region champ Sarah Yost but everybody else returns. They could give Middlesboro a run for their money in the region.

Corbin for the boys and Clay in the Girls should be the #1 teams.

Well, if these are the two best teams then who are some of the top individual prospects.

Sarah Burchell and Melanie Smith are Clay County's top 2 players. Both are sophmores.

So who are some of the other contenders in boys besides Corbin?

Megan Mars from Middlesboro is the top girls player in the region hands down. Ealier this season she beat Melanie Smith of Clay County 8-0. Not too mention, the Middlesboro girls are 13-0 with wins over several regional opponents. I would say the only other individual that has a chance to play Mars close is Baker from Knox Central.

 

Mars has already signed with Georgetown College.

Corbin's doubles team of Ryan Logan and Blake Freeman are very good and they should be able to make a strong showing at state this year. Freshman Lance Freeman plays #1 singles for the Hounds and he will be one of the favorites to win the region title.

Wrong!!! Mars beat Smith 6-4, 6-0. Yes it is still a victory for Mars but it is a far cry from 8-0. If you are going to post scores and stats at least make sure that they are correct especially if you are going to claim to be an "analyst".

I say Jessica Baker for #1 in the 13th.

I agree.

Mars beat Baker last year and is the favorite to beat her again.

6-4, 6-0 is a far cry from 8-0??? You're right instead of 8-0 it was 12-4. Either way, it was an obliteration.

Well if everybody on here just made up stats and scores with no basis in fact then this board would be pretty useless wouldn't it? And 4 games means a whole lot to who the #1 player in the region is seeing as how Baker beat Smith 6-0, 6-0.
