20 Teams Head to Seabrook for Weekend

Raging Bulls Win Super Senior South Carolina State Championship

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Of course it came down to a third-set match tiebreak. The Moss Creek Raging Bulls are the South Carolina Super Senior 60s Men's 2.5 state champion by virtue of that tiebreak over the Sea Pines Falcons in a state finals match played this afternoon at Port Royal Racquet Club.

Meanwhile, 20 other HHI league Super Senior teams are getting ready to head for Seabrook Island this weekend. The 2.5 States was played here because all four teams that qualified for the championships are HHIsland league teams.

Raging Bulls Captain David Teschner was the master of the win, teaming with John Fontana for the deciding victory at #2 doubles. Moss Creek and the Falcons, captained by Richard Jenkins, split Courts One and Three in straight sets.

The State Championship box score:

#1 Doubles -- Rick Gilligan/David Postlewaite (Moss Creek) def. Grover Rawlings/James Fall 6-3, 6-4

#2 Doubles -- John Fontana/David Theodore Teschner (Moss Creek) def. Bob Bartlett/Donald Sheehan 6-3, 4-6, 1-0

#3 Doubles -- James Field/Howard Abel (Sea Pines) def. Wayne Effron/Philip Prechtel 6-0, 6-3

The 20 other local teams represent Men's and Women's 60s in 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 ratings and 70s in 3.0 and 3.5. The teams will be among 81 competing from throughout the state. The 70s matches will be Thursday and Friday in group round robins, with semifinals and finals Saturday. The 60s will begin Friday and finish with Sunday semis and finals.
