Peyton Cox downed Dillan Johnson at No. 3, and Ellis Critchlow stopped Delvin Russell at No. 5 by 8-6 scores to keep UC’s perfect run in boys’ play alive.
Jacob Triplett and Alex Pegram both won by 8-1 scores, defeating Branden Overall and Design Gude at the first and fourth seeds, respectively, while Devin King downed Gerald Dyson 8-3 at No. 2.
Triplett and Cox posted an 8-0 win over Dyson and Overall at No. 1, and King and Pegram defeated Johnson and Russell 8-2 at No. 2 in doubles action.
