Mexico tennis didn’t have its full ranks on Tuesday, but victory proved to be within reach.
Mexico vs Marshall Photo Gallery (Tennis, Soccer)
The Bulldogs defeated North Central Missouri Conference foe Marshall 5-4 for its first conference win of the year. Mexico was missing four of its six varsity players due to reasons such as sickness, injuries or prior engagements.
Head coach Tony Senor called the win “gutsy” as several junior varsity players needed to play at a higher spot. Reigning all-conference players and top two Bulldogs Brendan McKeown and Declan Gleeson were available, but everyone down the depth chart needed to move up to beat the Owls (1-5, 0-2 NCMC).
“Three out of the six players on the team have never played varsity before today,” Senor said. “It was a great experience for the future of our team. We had a huge doubles win with Brixton *Goerne) and Brennon (Beasley) winning 10-6, and Brixton Goerne won his first varsity match ever helping project the team to a NCMC team win.”
Goerne won his singles match 10-4 to go along with the victories from McKeown and Gleeson. McKeown won his match 10-2, and Gleeson won 10-4 before they came together to win their doubles match 10-2.
Mexico (2-3, 1-1 NCMC) has three road matches scheduled in as many days starting Monday at Capital City (4-3), Tuesday at Boonville (1-2) and Wednesday at district foe North Point (2-4).
