State tennis singles results

Early morning rains caused a delay in the start times in the state tennis singles play at Radford University. The matches were scheduled for 9 a.m., but didn't get started until 9:45.

The Group A girls semifinal results are in, and Glenvar's Shari Thornton, a transfer from Cave Spring, will be playing in Thursday afternoon's final. She defeated Peyton Curdts of Middlesex 6-0, 6-2. Thornton's opponent in the state final is Tara Sheets of Gate City. Sheets defeated Maryanne Thompson of Wilson Memorial.

The boys results just came in, and Radford's Malik Mubeen will be playing for the Group A title today against Page County's Logan Bricker, the two-time defending champion. Mubeen defeated Robert Gaudin of Windsor 6-0, 6-3. Bricker won 6-0, 6-2 against Caleb Crowder of J.I. Burton.

In AA boys, Hidden Valley's Ed Arsura lost 6-0, 6-1 to Yakov Diskin of Grafton. Diskin will play today for what would be his third straight state title. His opponent is Alex Funkhouser of Handley. Funkhouser defeated Chad Brady of Graham 7-6 (8-6), 6-4.

We know that Blacksburg's Lauren Billingsley lost her AA semifinal to Mary Kate James of Jamestown. When we get more info on the AA girls, we'll post it.

It has begun to rain again in Radford. Reporter John Fridley says the finals might be moved indoors to Virginia Tech. We'll keep you posted on those developments.
