Girls High School Tennis: BBA Sweeps MAU In Season Series With Squeaker Win In Bennington - 4 Matches to 3
BBA won the day and the 2 game season series by the slimmest of margins, digging deep to edge Mount Anthony.
"These are the matches that try coach's souls on both sides", said BBA Girls Tennis Head Coach, Jeff Grimshaw. "The day could have gone either way and with our depleted squad we showed real character and just would not take defeat for an answer.
