Glendale grabbed the team title with 38 points, two more than the Eagles. The Falcons picked up two first places, one second and one fourth while the Eagles had a third place and fifth place in addition to their two titles. Lazenby dropped only six games en route to the No. 1 singles championship. He defeated Glendale’s Paul Nahon 6-2, 6-0 in the final. “John lost to Nahon the last three times they played,” Joplin coach Sean McWilliams said. “That was a big win for him.” McCreary and Liu teamed up to win No. 1 doubles, losing just three games in three matches. They downed Anderson-Burgio of Kickapoo 6-1, 6-1 in the championship round. “Michael and Alan winning No. 1 doubles was another great win for us,” McWilliams said. “Winning both No. 1 flights shows how strong we are at the top of our lineup. We have a few things to work on and prepare for district (next week), but we’ll be ready.” Joplin’s Chris Ingle finished third at No. 2 singles. He rebounded from a 10-8 semifinal loss to Michael Moore of West Plains with a 10-0 decision over Lebanon’s Matt Bourn in the third-place match.
