Mexico head coach Tony Senor reports “The rivalry between Mexico and Moberly was on full display at our home courts. We had a lot of close matches and it felt like a Districts type match. Just learning how to stay focused and finish games is key. That will come with experience. Quaid and Brixton played well in the 5 and 6 singles spot. They are starting to develop and learn how to play at a Varsity level.  Brendan McKeown lost a close match and we should see their number 1 again at the Conference tournament in May.”
