The Laurens District High girls’ tennis team won’t be competing in the Class 4A playoffs this year, but the Raiders closed out the season on Monday with a 4-3 out-of-region victory over Abbeville.

The playoffs were limited to two teams from each region due to COVID-19.

“I’m so proud of the girls and how hard they have worked and the great season we had,” coach Lynne Todd said. “We only missed going to the playoffs by a couple of lost lines against Eastside.

Singles: Kelsie Little won 6-7, 6-4 (1-0). Anna Jenkins won 6-2, 6-1. Bella Youseff won 6-2, 6-1. McKenzie Little lost 3-6, 7-5 (0-1). Bella Burrafato lost 1-6, 1-6.

Doubles: Jenkins-Youseff won 6-1, 6-1. Skylar Douglas-Casey Partee lost 6-2, 4-6 (0-1).

Laurens finished the season with a 7-4 record, 5-4 in Region 2-4A.

 

 

Thursday’s scheduled volleyball match at LDHS against Greer will be varsity only, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
