Tennis season starts with matchups against Midlo, James River

Powhatan’s tennis teams took to the court for the first time this season with a two-day slate of games against the Midlothian Trojans and James River Rapids, two talented teams that proved to be tough tests for the two young Indians rosters. It’ll be a season focused on development and taking experiences in stride for the Indians, with the boys team losing 8-1 in both matches. Those wins both came in the singles outings from sophomore No. 1 Jamison Wallace, who is already building off an impressive freshman campaign.

Wallace first beat Midlothian’s Jonathan Fogle in two sets, first sacrificing just a single game in a 6-1 set victory, then putting the game away with a 6-2 win in the second set. Against James River’s Andrew Kim, he was even better, first beating Kim with a 6-1 victory to start the match off before sweeping the second set entirely with six unanswered wins.
