The Tallulah Falls Indians are Sweet 16 bound after edging out Lakeview 3-2 in the first round of the 1A Private state tournament. TFS earned the win on Wednesday evening on the home court.
With the match tied at 2-2, all eyes were on #3 singles, where freshman TJ Cox secured the win for Tallulah Falls with a 6-1, 7-5 win. Senior Josh Jackson won at #2 singles, and the first doubles combo of Jake Owensby and Zach Carringer also earned a win that needed extra play to determine a win.
