Plainsmen finish 8th at Norman tennis

Enid News and Eagle

NORMAN, Okla. —  Enid coach Darrell Herndon saw some positives in the Plainsmen’s eighth-place place finish at the Norman tennis tournament Thursday.

The Plainsmen, for the first time this season, had three divisions win their first-round matches. Devin Watson, subbing for an injured Jason Christopherson at No. 2 singles, won a match.

The eighth-place finish was Enid’s highest finish of the season. Zac Gwin was sixth at No. 2 singles. He won two matches at a tournament for the first time this season to raise his record to 4-9. Connor Angleton and Blake Young were eighth at No. 1 doubles, but won a tiebreaker in the first round. They now are 3-10 overall.

Tyler Hallett and Koderick Miller were eighth at No. 2 doubles, winning a first-round match for the first time this season. They lost a tiebreaker for seventh place and are now 6-5 overall. Watson, subbing for Christopherson at No. 2, beat Dalton Tucker of Tecumseh, 6-1, 6-4 in a first-round consolation match.

“If Jason were here, we might have finished higher as a team, but Devin contributed points, that’s a positive,’’ Herndon said. The important thing is these kids keep getting better. Some of them don’t have a long tennis background and have had to develop a lot on their own. I appreciate how hard they are working. They keep chipping away. As long as you’re doing your best, you will learn from it.’’

  • Jemarcus_Jackson_BH.jpg Jackson signs with Mid-America Christian

    Jemarcus Jackson signed a letter of intent to play basketball on a scholarship at NAIA Division I Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City on Monday, ending a long wait for the Enid High senior, and a longer one for his nerves.
    Jackson already was sweating thanks to a weighty training session just before his signing ceremony at the Enid High School food court, but that wasn’t the only reason he was “sweating like a dog” as he filled out the paperwork.

  • Bruce Campbell.jpg Aggies give D-II series a state flavor

    A tip of the hat to Murray State College for winning the Plains District tournament this weekend to assure there will be an Oklahoma team in the upcoming NJCAA Division II World Series at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.
    The Aggies, who were 5-0 against Northern Oklahoma College Enid this season, beat MCC-Longview 14-7 in the district championship game to take a 41-21 record into the tournament.
    They are a team that should be easy for Enid fans to adopt as their own.
