HHH tennis team storms past Wilson into Lower State final

Hilton Head High took another step toward its third consecutive Class 3-A state tennis championship on Tuesday, sweeping Wilson 6-0 in the second round of the playoffs.

No. 1 singles player Lindsey Burke, No. 3 Jasmyn Howell and No. 4 Holli Selman all won 6-0, 6-0. No. 2 Sabrina Drammis won 6-2, 6-4 and No. 5 Megan Farrell won 6-1, 6-2.

In doubles, Dana Leal and Gabby Perissi won 9-0.

"We were very strong," coach Scott Nichols said. "I made some changes to our lineup to get some other players involved because we just have so much depth. They did very well. They were off the court in maybe an hour, so I was very pleased."

Hilton Head High (15-1) will play for the Lower State championship on Friday in Sumter against the winner of Tuesday's match between South Aiken and Brookland-Cayce. The state championship is set for Saturday, also in Sumter.
