With the Mohawks down 2-1 , the attention turned to both doubles matches and the rain coming!! #1 doubles Jackson Kuhn and Caige Sheaffer dropped the first set 6-4 and were down 4-1 in the second set before the shots started falling as they raced back with 5 straight games to win second set 6-4. In the third set , they used their momentum and great serving and shot selection to win 6-3 to tie the county title match at 2-2!! All eyes went to #2 doubles of Noah Mitchell and Owen Hartman who won the first set 6-3, then dropped the second set 6-1 to set up the deciding third set. Both players stayed poised and positive through the ups and downs of the third set to set up Noah to serve it out at 6-5. Noah got all but one first serve in and Owen had some great net shots to win 7-5 in the third set and bring the county title back to Waldron for the first time since 2019!! Great job young men!!
