HIGH SCHOOL
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – To round out his outstanding career, Joliet West Co-op’s Tom Carney decided to take his first shot at doubles in the boys tennis state tournament.
He talked with freshman Morgan Red about becoming partners.
They did, and when the state tournament concluded Saturday, it was evident the move was sound.
Carney and Morgan Red finished with an 8-2 record and claimed sixth place in a marathon trek through the state meet.
Their only losses were to Highland Park’s David Aizenberg-Max Gordon, 6-7, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the third round of the championship bracket and to Hinsdale Central’s Lope Adelakun-Michael Czlonka, 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-6 (6) in a grueling fifth-place match.
