WC nips Ridgeland on tennis court

A strong showing in doubles helped Warren Central overcome Ridgeland on Tuesday.
Skyler Gibson and Lauren Davis earned their first victory of the season in girls doubles 7-6, 6-1, and the mixed doubles team of Joseph Jabour and Amanda Boleware won in a tiebreaker 6-7, 6-3, 10-5.
The victory was clinched, however, by a forfeit. Neither of Ridgeland’s boys doubles teams showed up for the match, which gave Warren Central two points and the team victory.
Tuesday’s match was the fifth straight on the road for the Vikings, but they’ll now head back to Vicksburg for a long homestand.
Five of their last six regular-season matches are at the Halls Ferry Park courts, beginning with Brandon Thursday at 4 p.m.
WC will play Vicksburg Friday at 4 p.m.
