After beating a district opponent in the venue’s debut, the Bulldogs defeated district foe Columbia Independent 5-4 on Senior Night on Thursday.
While playing in a district format, Mexico won four best-two-out-three-set singles matches out of six and took one doubles match. Brandon Rodriguez, one of six seniors honored during a ceremony before the dual, won singles 2-1 via tiebreaker and won his doubles match 8-6 with partner Landon Whitworth.
Whitworth won singles 2-0, Owen Wilburn won singles 2-0 and Esteban Sebastian won singles 2-1 via tiebreaker.
Brixton Goerne and Skylar Shaw were honored during Senior Night before playing singles and doubles. Jonathan St. Martin, Stephen Kerr and Brady McCoy were also recognized.
