BY CHRIS BRIDGES The Banks County High School varsity boys tennis team now finds its back against the wall when it comes to the subregion race this spring. The Leopards dropped a 3-2 contest to visiting Fannin County last week for their second loss in subregion play. Barring something unforeseen, BCHS would only be able to finish third in the subregion. “It was a tough loss,” said Leopard coach Mike Ruth. “We were very close to winning it.” BCHS fell at No. 1 and No. 2 singles but recorded a win at No. 3 singles as Garret Hayes took a 6-1, 6-2 victory. The No. 1 doubles match went down to the wire before Nathan Ward and Jacob Westmoreland fell 4-6, 5-6. Chase Minish and Viet Pham did win at No. 2 doubles 6-2, 6-0. The BCHS boys did defeat East Jackson 4-1 Thursday in a match which did not count toward the sub region standings. Kyle Walker won 8-2 at No. 1 singles with Trey Martin recording a 8-1 win at No. 2 singles. In doubles play, Ward and Westmoreland won 8-3 while Minish and Pham won 8-2. Clay Carroll and Todd Parks won an exibition match as did Alex Banks and C.J. Pilcher. Charles Frinks earned a tie in his exibition match. “We played well in our matches this season against East Jackson and Dawson County so maybe we can finish third,” Ruth said. “We are just young. We only have two players who have much past experience and one of them is playing singles this year after competing in doubles last season.” Ruth said Sunday he is looking into whether the match from earlier this season with Rabun County will count in the subregion standings. The BCHS coach said he believed teams were supposed to play sets in subregion matches which counted in the standings. In the match between the schools, the teams played a Pro 8 match. BCHS is scheduled to host Rabun County Thursday but Ruth was going to look into the situation involv ing the earlier match. If that match does not count, Ruth said he would be willing to take his team back to Rabun County for Thursday’s match. “I know when Fannin County and East Jackson played Rabun County, the matches were best two-of-three,” Ruth said. “It seems like we were supposed to play that format as well.” Staying on course... GOING FOR THE GREEN The Banks County High School golf teams have been busy in recent weeks on area courses. Led by coaches Eric Bona and Carl Cole, the BCHS teams have already competed in sev eral matches.
