The Joplin Globe, 10/5/11

Carl Junction, the top seed, beat Aurora 5-2 for the MSHSAA Class 1 District 11 Tournament team tennis championship on Tuesday at the Joplin Athletic Complex. Aurora nipped Thomas Jefferson 5-4 at the Millennium Tennis and Fitness Club and Carl Junction hurdled Mount Vernon 5-0 in the semifinals.

Aurora stopped visiting Monett 5-0 and Mount Vernon ousted visiting College Heights 5-1 in the opening round on Monday. Carl Junction and No. 2 Thomas Jefferson had byes.

Carl Junction, 12-2 in duals under Ryan Odaffer, will travel for the team sectional round on Oct. 15. “I thought we played very well during the two matches,” Odaffer said. “Five of our six girls played in the finals last season (losing to Monett). They knew what to expect and were ready.”

Carl Junction won four of the six singles matches and won the only doubles match that was required. Emily Cook, Haley Pope, Megan Boline and Rebecca O’Hanahan won in singles for Carl Junction in the final. O’Hanahan and Cook prevailed at No. 2 doubles.
