LADY KNIGHTS RUN ENDS IN STATE FINAL

 The Glass slipper finally fell off Saturday afternoon as The Cinderella surprise of 2018 Missouri Class 1 doubles. Hannah Tadros and Helene Bergere fell In the championship round to John Burroughs. The  Burroughs doubles team consisted of the two previous state singles champions to form a powerful combination.   The first three games each went back-and-forth with Burroughs grabbing a 2-1 lead.  But the huge serves and big  ground strokes of Burroughs were too much to overcome, and the Lady Knights had to settle  for second place with the 1-6, 2-6 loss which does not diminish the amazing district, sectional, and state tournament run that Hannah and Helene made.   Facing underdog status in three consecutive matches, winning four of four tiebreakers, Hannah and Helene  fought through the toughest draw in recent years to reach the finals  of the Class 1 Missouri state tennis championships. Congratulations to  these two young ladies for an exciting two weeks and a terrific year.
