GENEVA – Granted a rare reprieve to leave Tuesday’s dual early, most St. Charles East girls tennis players departed shortly after reporting their scores.

Saints juniors Haydyn Jones and Kelsie Roberton also aspired to freshen up before East’s homecoming week festivities. Too bad Geneva counterparts Margo Hess and Joanie Educate were running the baseline – and interference.

Jones and Roberton scrambled for the team bus once they finished a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 2 doubles, exhaling with the final result of East’s 5-2 win in Upstate Eight Conference River Division play.
