FHS coach Danny Tullis said he was proud of the way his team hung tough.

“We went stretches of playing really well during the tournament, but there were other times when we failed to take advantage. That happens. It was a long day having to play four matches,” Tullis said.

“We are finding ways to win. We are pushing through the occasional periods of adversity, and getting it done.”

Tullis said he felt his club depended on the hitting of Barron too much at times. “The team did what they had to do to win. Our overall team defense was lacking at times, but they overcame it to win the tournament,” Tullis added.
