Moms vs. Daughters?

Putting a Wrap on the Thanksgiving Turkey Tournament at Chaplin Park

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- The last of the semis and the finals went cool turkey today at Chaplin Public Tennis Center, getting all the competitive juices settled before facing what's on the holiday platters Thursday. And was that a new category played -- a Mom/Mom - Daughter/Daughter final?

Clearly the match of the day was the Girls' 14 final that was settled in a 16-14 third-set match tiebreak, with Dana Leal coming out on top over Charlotte Loper, who won the first set 6-3. Leal came back to take the second set in a 7-4 tiebreak then win it in the marathon match tiebreak.

Not far behind in the excitement was the Women's 6.5 Combo semifinal with Kathy Haught/Julie Jilly defeating Theresa Pugh/Caroline Stoll 6-0, 2-6, 10-8. Across the net in the final, however, Moms Haught and Jilly found their daughters Clara Haught and Caitlin Jilly … which was not good news for Moms Kathy and Julie resultwise. Match to Clara and Caitlin 10-4 in the final set. And we couldn't make that up.
