Beaufort High tennis phenom Graeme Angus now has two state singles titles, and he hasn’t even finished his first year of high school.
Angus captured the Class 5A/4A singles crown as an eighth-grader last spring, and he made it a double by breezing through the Class 3A/2A/1A draw last week at the Dr. Eddie J. Floyd Florence Tennis Center.
The freshman phenom won all five matches in straight sets and advanced through the first two rounds without dropping a game. He took down Oceanside Collegiate’s Luke Skillman, 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinals, then defeated Waccamaw’s Logan Tomovski, 6-4, 6-1 in the finals.
Senior teammate Diego Alvarez also had a strong showing, winning his first two matches in straight sets to earn All-State honors before falling, 6-3, 6-1 to Skillman in the quarterfinals. Alvarez was also honored with the Sportsmanship Award as voted on by coaches at the state singles tournament.
Alvarez plan to play tennis at The Citadel next year, while Angus will set his sights on a three-peat.
