COMMUNITY SCHOOL OF DAVIDSON’S MUDGE TAKES SINGLES

CARY — Courtney Mudge of Community School of Davidson defeated teammate Marisa Deininger for the singles championship on Saturday in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 1-A women’s tennis championships at the Cary Tennis Center.

Mudge took the title in two tough sets by 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2). She had won a pair of matches on Friday, taking three of those four sets at love.

The doubles final was a rematch of last year’s championship and the Misenheimer Gray Stone Day team of Libby Fowler and Brooke Herlocker made it two straight state titles. The Gray Stone Day pair beat Mount Airy’s Davie Barbour and Haley Thomas, rallying to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Fowler and Herlocker won last year’s state final by a score of 6-1, 6-0, but Barbour and Thomas topped the Gray Stone team in last week’s regional championship, 6-3, 6-3.
