WARNER ROBINS — If such a thing as a perfect game in tennis exists, the Tift County Blue Devils played one Tuesday against Northside of Warner Robins.

Not only did the Devils win, 5-0, no one lost any games. All four matches ended, 6-0, 6-0. There were only four matches as Northside fielded only one doubles team, giving Ross Peters and Seth Denham the afternoon off.

Matthew Layfield and Tyson Lasseter won at No. 1 doubles. Singles winners were Maitrey Patel, Elijah Hellman and Joshua Hellman.

The Lady Devils also won, 5-0, only surrendering seven sets to Northside.

Riley Griffin won 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, with Anna Lupo coming through with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 2, and Abby Lupo won 6-1, 6-0 at No. 3.

Madison Garner and Kenyaria Morrow won doubles with 6-0, 6-1 sets. Perrin Turner and Kate Carpenter won the other doubles at 6-1, 6-0.

Tift is to play Thomas County Central at home Thursday, which wraps up region’s regular season.

The Blue Devils will be No. 1 going into the region, courtesy of their 9-0 record against the rest of 1-6A’s schools. The Lady Devils also look to go in at No. 1. They are currently 8-1, with only Lee County within striking distance. Tift’s girls defeated Lee twice in the regular season.
