Owen McAbee won at the No. 4 singles spot, and Brent Edwards-Jacob Wenzel and Gordon Taylor-McAbee won doubles matches, but the Comets fell 6-3 at Jefferson Forest High School in a scrimmage played on Wednesday.

Edwards, Wenzel, Taylor, Gabe Outlaw and Ben Irby all lost singles matches for the Comets, Taylors loss coming in a tie-breaker.

Outlaw also played a close match before falling.

You always hate to come out of any situation with a loss, but considering this was a scrimmage this was good for us, said Comets Head Coach David Riddle.

Jefferson Forest has a solid group of players, and that will certainly help us in the long run.

This is a young team that does not have a ton of experience in matches at the top of the ladder.

We saw some nerves out there today, and also quite a few unforced errors, but there were a bunch of good moments as well.

The Comets rallied from behind to get two of their three wins, Riddle noted.

They all fought hard, and several of the losses also came down to the last few points, noted Riddle.

This group is working hard everyday to get better, and we will take what we saw today and prepare for the start of the regular season next week.
