Salisbury was in the finals for the 12th time and captured
its ninth NCHSAA state dual team title, finishing the season with a 21-2 mark.
Greene Central was in the finals for the 11th time with a pair of previous
state championships and wound up 21-3 overall.
The 3-A final was the closest of the day, with unbeaten Nash
Central and Charlotte Catholic splitting 3-3 in singles action and two of the
matches going to the third-set tiebreaker.
But Catholic won the second and third doubles contests to
take a 5-3 victory, improving its final season record to 20-6. The Cougars have
now nine NCHSAA championships in 10 trips to the dual team finals.
Nash Central lost for the first time this season after 19
consecutive wins.
In morning championships, Raleigh Broughton completed a
perfect 24-0 season as the Caps won the state 4-A title. Broughton rolled past
previously unbeaten Greensboro Grimsley by a 5-1 count, winning four of the six
singles matches in straight sets,. The Caps were led by number-one singles
player Maggie Kane, who won the 4-A singles championship in the individual tournament
last weekend.
Broughton was in the women's dual team finals for a record
15th time and won a record 11th championship. Grimsley (20-1), whose lone
winner was Alex Silver in the number-two singles, was the defending champion.
In the 1-A final, Mount Airy rolled past Durham's North
Carolina School of Science and Math 5-0, winning all five of the singles
matches which were completed in straight sets and only losing six games total
in those five.
Jordan Jackson, Mount Airy's number-one player in singles,
was the state runner-up in the individual tournament last week.
Mount Airy ended the season at 22-2 overall while NCSSM
finished 15-4.
