In the last day of Region II competition at the Boar’s Head Inn Sports Club on Wednesday, athletes from two powerful area tennis programs concluded their respective seasons.

The Region II individual girls tennis tournament got underway on Tuesday, and Western Albemarle’s Shannon Bayliss and the Monticello doubles team of Amanda Wagner and Lizzie Gaffney moved on to continue play in today’s final round.

Western Albemarle’s core of seniors got them to the Region II final, but the Warriors’ underclassmen put them over the top.

Western Albemarle’s tennis program added two more trophies to its case on Thursday in the Jefferson District singles championships.

Western Albemarle has built quite a legacy in the sport of tennis in its years in the Jefferson District, as both the boys and girls teams have won every title since the league was formed. The Warriors continued that streak in the 2008 championship on Tuesday at Piedmont Virginia Community College, as each team defeated rival Monticello.

Western Albemarle and Monticello squared off in a do-or-die tiebreaker match to decide who would secure the top seed in Monday’s Jefferson District tournament on Saturday. After splitting the season series the teams were tied, but in the rubber match, Western prevailed, 6-1.
