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. <\/p>\n
Edwards, Wenzel, Taylor, Gabe Outlaw and Ben Irby all lost singles matches for the Comets, Taylors loss coming in a tie-breaker. <\/p>\n
Outlaw also played a close match before falling. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Jefferson Forest has a solid group of players, and that will certainly help us in the long run. <\/p>\n
This is a young team that does not have a ton of experience in matches at the top of the ladder. <\/p>\n
We saw some nerves out there today, and also quite a few unforced errors, but there were a bunch of good moments as well. <\/p>\n
The Comets rallied from behind to get two of their three wins, Riddle noted. <\/p>\n
They all fought hard, and several of the losses also came down to the last few points, noted Riddle. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
