The Tigers competed in a 2-Day pooled tournament this week in Lebanon.  On Thursday, four teams gathered in Lebanon, while four different teams met in Camdenton, to compete in the first round of their pool. The top two teams in each pool then competed in the championships Friday for the overall trophy.  Waynesville competed very well, taking second in the Lebanon pool on Thursday. Beating Willow Springs 6-3 and Osage 7-2, the only team loss of the day was against Lebanon in a nail-biter, ending 4-5. Beating Lebanon earlier in the season 5-4, we knew this would be our toughest match-up of the day.  The Tigers fought hard, but unfortunately fell just short of the mark.  Still yet, the Tigers brought home a 2^ndplace trophy, as well as several individual medals, and the opportunity to go back and compete for 3^rdplace over all eight teams.  Individual medalists are as follows: Singles – David Sneed (2^nd), Tyler Gayman (1^st), Cameron Martell (1^st), Shawn Berrios (2^nd), Caleb Andrews (2^nd); Doubles – Gayman/Martell (1^st), Emperato/Andrews (2^nd).  

On Friday, the Tigers returned to Lebanon to compete against Clinton for 3^rdplace overall.  Clinton had taken victories over Camdenton and Richland, while losing to Kirksville the day before.  Having never played this team, and not seeing their opponents yet this season, we were unsure what kind of match we were walking into.  The Tigers entered the match fighting and took three straight doubles victories.  Only dropping three matches overall, Waynesville finished 6-3 to claim the 3^rdplace trophy.  

The Tigers will go on to play Houston at home on Monday before taking the road Thursday and Friday of next week.
