CARY – An all-Catawba County battle for the girls’ 2A singles tennis championship is a possibility as the state tournament concludes on Saturday at the Cary Tennis Center.
On Friday’s opening day, Alexis Woglemuth of Fred T. Foard and Alexa Allison of Newton-Conover each won two matches to advance to the semifinals.
Those semifinals are Saturday at 9 a.m., and if each local player wins they’ll later battle for the state 2A singles title.
Woglemuth faces Washington’s Mary Emma Holscher in a semifinal while Allison will take on Jessica Fuchs of Oak Grove.
West Lincoln has a doubles team – Brogan Heavner and Etta Godfrey – in the 2A semifinals, also at the Cary Tennis Center. They’ll next play Lillie Rusher and Meredith Burton of Salisbury.
