Morehead falls to Northern Guilford in boys tennis

Newcomer Northern Guilford was able to record the season sweep of Morehead Wednesday afternoon in Eden.
The Nighthawks won five of six singles matches and went on to the 7-2 Triad 3-A Conference victory.
MHS (4-7 overall, 3-6 in conference), got its lone win in singles action from Matt Gilley, who beat Alex Southard, 10-3 in second singles.
Northern’s Russell Riley beat Ethan Hughes, 10-7 in first singles play, while Logan Williams did the same to Morehead’s Stephen Ziglar in third singles.
Fourth singles saw Chris Bowles fall to Zach Cotterer by a 4-10 score.
Northern’s Henry Sigurreoa downed Cody Clark, 10-2 in fifth singles, while Ryan Vick claimed sixth singles, 10-0 over Scott Bishopric.
The duo of Hughes and Gilley took the win in first doubles, 8-4 over Southard and Williams.
In second doubles, Riley and Cotterer beat Ziglar and Bowles, 8-1, while the Northern duo of Vick and Ryan Dickinson beat Clark and Alex Winn, 8-3.
“Northern is talented and I think a lot of the matches could have gone either way,” MHS coach Chris Moore. “We have improved from that first match with them (8-1 loss) and I feel we could have beat them. Today just wasn’t our day.”
MHS will host Reidsville this afternoon in a non-conference match.
The match will start at
4:30 p.m.
