BA Girls Win 2nd Straight SCISA 1A Title

Beaufort Academy claimed a second consecutive SCISA Class 1A girls tennis state title with a 5-1 win over Lowcountry Prep on Wednesday at Charleston Tennis Center.

The Eagles won five of the six singles matches, including a three-set thriller at No. 3 in which Caroline Moss rallied after dropping the first set and clinched the team title, ensuring the doubles matches didn’t need to be played.

BA’s players doused coach Larry Scheper with a cooler of ice water after the victory.
