“All of the coaches
agreed the match was by
tor the best of the tourna
ment,’’ noted KMHS Coach
Bd Guy. “Tim played
great tennis but Dillon had
Just a finer ridge on his
game. Dillon played super
tennis In the first set and
Tim played Just as super In
the second. Tbe third and
deciding set was Just a
matter of who got a couple
of points at the right time. ’ ’
"Prior to that match.’’
added Guy, “nobody had
come even close to taking a
set off Dillon. Tim knows
Dillon can be beaten and
Tim’s capable of doing it In
the state tournament. It’s
not so Important where you
finish In the sectional and
regional tournaments. The
people will remember It If
you win the state, though.”
