Bryson Clifford and Jacob Markley were each eliminated in the first round of the state tennis competition, but not before each played well against top competition.
Clifford faced off with Corbin’s Caroline Reedy and battled her way only to drop each set 6-3, 6-3.
Markley’s opponent, Adam Slone of Lexington Christian, handled the Union College-bound senior, 6-1, 6-0, in sets in which the score does not tell the story of how difficult each point was to score.
