Nov. 1-6 States for 3 Age Levels

     Apre Playoffs: Sea Pines CC #1, Spring Lake Remnants #2, Spring Lake Spin Masters #3

                                        Moss Creek Aces #1, Port Royal Royal Ladies #2, Palmetto Dunes Slice Girls #3 

        HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- As should be the case, three-set matches decided the two first-round playoffs last Wednesday in the Super Senior 60s Men's flights. And the same happened this Wednesday in a pair of playoffs that decided the top three HHI seeds going to the state championships. The SS60s women also decided their seeding Wednesday, but not in quite as dramatic a fashion.

    Bottom line in the SS60s seedings:

         Women's HHI #1 Moss Creek Aces, HHI #2 Port Royal Royal Ladies, HHI #3 Palmetto Dunes Slice Girls

        Men's HHI #1 Sea Pines CC, HHI #2 Sprng Lake Remnants, HHI #3 Spring Lake Spin Masters

    Last Wednesday, Sea Pines CC went the three-set route for a 2-1 win over the CCHH Barbarians, while Spring Lake Remnants took two courts in three sets to defeat Spring Lake Spin Doctors 2-1. As a virtual repeat yesterday, Sea Pines and the SL Spin Masters split their first two courts in their respective matches, then won the #3 court to advance.  

    Wrapping up the regular season in SS 60s Women's 3.5s, the final four pairing was partially set when the Palmetto Dunes Slice Girls took three courts from Spring Lake Net Assets. Though tied in team record at 4-2, the Slice Girls have the better courts won-lost count and finish in second place. Meanwhile, the Moss Creek Aces' Wednesday night win over the PD Belles of the Ball silenced the Belles chances of staying in second place in that flight. The Spring Lake Lady Lakers swept all three courts from Wexford and clinched the second spot with a one-court-win margin.

   The two flight #2 teams -- PD Slice Girls and SL Lady Lakers -- played off Monday at Palmetto Dunes and the Slice Girls did just that in taking two courts and captured the #3 seeding for Wild Dunes championships next week. The Women's two first place teams met Wednesday, with Moss Creek Aces winning 3-0 over Port Royal Royal Ladies determining #1 and #2 spots at States.

    The USTA League South Carolina State Championships will have 26 teams competing from Hilton Head Island and 16 Coastal Carolina.  Here are the HHI playoffs that determined the final seeding this week:

       
Wednesday, Oct. 19 – 2:30 p.m.

    Men's 3.5 -- Spring Lake Remnants 2, Spring Lake Spin Masters 1; Sea Pines CC 2, CCHH Barbarians 1

Monday, October 24 -- 2:30 p.m. at Palmetto Dunes

    Women's 3.5 -- Palmetto Dunes Slice Girls 2, Spring Lake Lady Lakers 1
 

Wednesday, Oct. 26

    Men's 3.5 -- Sea Pines CC 2, Spring Lake Remnants 1; Spring Lake Spin Masters 2, CCHH Barbarians 1

    Women's 3.5 – Moss Creek Aces 3, Port Royal Royal Ladies 0

    While some entire states can't seem to come up with such numbers, the HHI/CCTA contingent at the South Carolina Championships will travel with about 400 players, encountering those from throughout the Palmetto State's tennis world.

    USTA SC Super Senior Coordinator Bonnie Sue Duncan has set the tournament play to begin for all 75s levels Tuesday morning, Nov. 1, except for the Men's 3.0s. The latter has only two teams entered and that championship will be decided locally between HHI and CCTA teams. All 70s levels will begin Wednesday. All 60s levels will begin Friday morning. The tournament schedule will be published and posted on the USTA South Carolina website (www.sctennis.com) approximately Oct. 26.
