Gryphons duo wins regional doubles title

Posted on 25 October 2015 by mgainey.

Rocky Mount High’s Chandler Brice and Brenna Bryant won the NCHSAA 3-A Eastern Regional doubles championship on Saturday in Wilson.

Brice and Bryant defeated teammates Eliza Fike and Mary Blair Thompson, 6-0, 6-0.

Both teams will compete at the 3-A state tournament in Burlington next weekend.

“I’m really proud of both doubles teams,” Gryphons coach Barry Nethercutt said. “We thought they would meet each other in the finals, and that’s exactly what happened, which is pretty rare. Eliza and Mary Blair really fought hard in the semis as they were down a set and 1-4, but finally realized the effort they needed and gutted out a three-set win. Chandler and Brenna continue to impress me with their aggressiveness, and I expect both teams to really be a factor next week in Burlington.”

Rocky Mount High (12-0) will play host to Rockingham County on Tuesday in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs.
