Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter boys tennis team hosted the Poplar Bluff Mules in their first game of the season on Thursday night.
"We had some first match jitters against Poplar Bluff," stated Dexter tennis coach Kurt Lovelady. "Overall I was pleased with how they played."
Poplar Bluff and Dexter were tied 4-4 after eight matches and it came down to Peyton Bradley of Poplar Bluff and Addison Moore of Dexter. Bradley won 8-7 in a tiebreaker to give the Mules a 5-4 team win.
"Moore was got behind early. When I saw that this was going to be the match that decides it, I told him this at one of the cross overs. He proceeded to get back in it and force a tie-breaker," stated Lovelady. "The tie breaker was close, but PB had just a little more left in him. I am proud of Addison not giving up though."
