William Byrd traveled to Forest Friday afternoon and came away with a 7-2 boys tennis win against Jefferson Forest.

"Our guys played well in a 7-2 victory, registering 5 singles wins and 2 doubles wins," said William Byrd head coach Jason Perdue.  "Brennan Escobar looked sharp in defeating Will Leach, a regional participant from 2009.  Joseph Davis and Trevor Perdue scored convincing victories; Bryce Martin continued his inspired play; and Will Trent prevailed in strong fashion." 

"Our doubles teams Escobar/Davis and Perdue/Trent used aggressive net play to shut down their opponents," added the coach.

William Byrd will have a rematch with Cave Spring on Monday.
