COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “Our guys came out of the game playing outstanding doubles to gain the 3-0 advantage. We carried that momentum into singles. Huntington’s top two players are very good. However, it was really good to see the bottom of our lineup play well tonight. It’s great to get Gavin White back in our singles lineup.”
