Less than an hour ago the Bruin boys tennis team defeated Parkway Central 5-1 to advance to the state championship match this afternoon at 1 p.m.
The Bruin will face Rockhurst High School in the championship, a rematch of last year’s finals in which the Bruins were victorious.
Rock Bridge will be vying for their fourth straight boys state tennis title a feat never before accomplished in Missouri.
“We’re grabbing some lunch now,” junior Jacob Winton, who plays No. 4 on the tennis team, said. “Then heading back to the hotel for hopefully 45 minutes or so. Then we’ll go out and warm up outdoors to get used to the wind and sun.”
This morning’s match against the Colts’ featured wins by No. 5 Raymond Majors, a junior, Winton, No. 6 Harry Bozoian, a junior, No. 3 Rohit Rao, a sophomore, and No. 1 Alex Jones, a senior.
