WHITMIRE — The Lady Wolverines wrapped up the regular season in style with a victory over the Lady Tigers of Saluda whilst celebrating their senior, Raegan Kendrick.
“The girls really fought hard in several matches to get victories at all five singles positions and the number two doubles position to improve their record to 14-2 (4-0). I am really proud of the perseverance we showed in a few key matches in which we had lost the momentum after the second set, but were able to regroup and get the win. Hayleigh Deputy and Marissa Baker, also played in a doubles match, showed a lot of improvement despite the score not going their way,” said Head Coach Chaz Adams.
The results of the match are as follows:
#1 Singles: Kimberly Kendrick (W) d. K. Canady (S) – 6-2, 2-6, 10-3
#2 Singles: Raegan Kendrick (W) d. R. Shore (S) – 7-5, 6-3
#3 Singles: Barrett Martin (W) d. G. Burgess (S) – 6-1, 6-0

#2 Doubles: Keri Lawson/Olivia Martin (W) d. A. Gentry/S. Shore (S) – 6-1, 7-5
The Lady Wolverines will now wait for the brackets to be completed for the state playoffs to find out who they will play first round.
The Lady Wolverines also traveled to Williston-Elko Wednesday evening to take on the Lady Blue Devils and were able to get the victory to improve their season record to 13-2. This is the highest win total in nine years.
“The girls played well and did a good job of staying focused and keeping poised after the long bus ride and through the warmer than normal temperatures. The Lady Wolverines took wins at all five singles positions and the number two doubles position. Addie Green and Isabelle Gilliam also played in a doubles match and won 5-0,” Adams said.
