MBA Comes From Behind to Advance to Team State Championship

Mike Davidson
MBA advanced to the team state championship in exciting fashion on Tuesday morning, coming back from a 3-1 deficit to advance in the tournament and face McCallie on Wednesday in the team final. Baylor Sai and Hugh Graham won at 1 doubles 8-2 but MBA lost the doubles point with a pair of 8-5 losses at 2 doubles and 3 doubles. Baylor Sai was able to even the score with a quick 6-2, 6-1 victory at 1 singles, but MBA again found itself in a hole after losing at 4 singles and 6 singles. MBA would need to win the remaining three matches to get the win. Hugh Graham won 6-4, 6-3 to start the comeback. Richard Cummins and Sims Lance split sets at 2 singles and 5 singles respectively. Richard got the three set victory 6-1, 4-6, 6-1 and the match came down to Sims Lance at 5 singles. Sims rebounded from a bad start to get the win for the team 0-6, 6-3, 6-4. MBA will face a McCallie team in the championship that bested Baylor 4-0 in their semifinal.
