Watauga WTEN records near-sweep of Freedom

By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — Three days in a row of women’s tennis at Watauga High School and it was a third day of domination on Sept. 14 for the Pioneers. Sweeping the six singles matches and losing only the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles pairing, Watauga defeated Freedom, 7-2.

At No. 1 singles, Watauga sophomore Sienna Davidson had only a little bit of trouble in overcoming the Patriots’ senior No. 1, Ellie Deacon, 6-4, 6-2. Pioneer senior teammate Madison Ogden dispatched Freedom sophomore Emily Kania, 6-1, 6-1, then Watauga’s No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 athletes didn’t surrender a single game, all winning 6-0, 6-0.

Freedom got a measure of revenge in capturing the first two doubles matches, with Deacon and Sara Byrd Succop combining to defeat Pioneers Abbi Shuman and Laurel West, 8-4, and Patriots Leah Kirksey and Kania getting the best of Serena Jewell-Miller and Logan Highfield, 8-4.

Jewell-Miller and Katie Harrison avoided a complete doubles sweep for the Pioneers by defeating Freedom’s Zofia Losada and Lucy Yelton, 8-1.
