OC exits tournament with 6-0, 6-1 loss to SV

Norwalk IA - Under the dim lights of Norwalk High - SV had great difficulty seeing OC's blistering two-handed backhand. Despite passing a recent medical exam with 20/20 vision, the combination of speed and lighting gave SV a challenge he wasn't expecting. OC aced SV on several occasions, and certainly could have used his youthful vision to his advantage, but unforced errors proved fatal. OC exits tournament competition for this year, but certainly has some weapons to build upon.
