Wexford Dream Team Wins Southern Section Championship

NEW ORLEANS LA (TENNIS E-NEWS via TennisLink) – The Wexford Dream Team of Hilton Head Island won the Adult 5.0 Southern Mixed Doubles Championship, defeating teams from Louisiana and Mississippi today. The title was decided in a third-set super tiebreak won by team captain Cal Navis and partner Carrie Vormohr.

The afternoon victory kept the Dream Team in a 5-1 tie with the South Carolina ‘b’ Spartanburg that beat them yesterday. The HHI team took the championship by virtue of winning 14 courts, while losing 4. Spartanburg had a 12-6 courts won/loss record.

Hilton Head Island’s Senior 8.0 PDTC team, captained by Tim Arr, defeated Savannah Southbridge today, but the one loss yesterday kept them out of the category finals late today.

A more complete report on the HHI teams’ performances and further coverage of the Sea Pines/Rosie Gwynn Junior Championships will have to wait until we can find a working monitor and some place more customer-relations friendly than Staples (couldn’t-be-bothered-even-though-we-bought-our-monitor-there) HHI.

Can’t leave you without a line from Prairie Home Companion’s annual joke show – heard on way home from Staples:

Why are a cow pie and a (male or female) blonde alike? The older they get the easier they are to pick up.
