Much like most sports on Friday, the Alleghany Mountaineers (7-7) boys tennis matchup on the road against the Glenvar Highlanders was postponed.
The tennis matchup will be made up on Wednesday at Glenvar.
It will also be the teams regular season finale before the region tournament begins.
The Mounties lost at home to the Highlanders on April 20th. The loss was a part of the teams four match losing streak. The teams longest of the season.
Prior to the teams regular season finale, the Mounties will host the Carroll County Cavaliers on Tuesday for the teams home regular season finale and also senior night.
The Mounties will have five senior be recognized; Coy Brown, Nathan Clark, Ethanel Elmore, Baron Leitch, and Coree Nicely.
After the team started out 4-0 on the season and winners of six of their first seven games, the Mounties went on a four match losing steak.
The Mounties ended their four match losing streak with a big road victory over the Cavaliers on April 22nd.
The team currently has dropped their last two games, 7-2 against Floyd County and Radford.
Throughout the season, Mounties head coach, Seth Davis has tinkered around with the bottom of his singles lineup to find the perfect fit to balance with his top seeded players.
The same can be said about the doubles teams which has been one of the teams strongest strengths.
The Mounties at 7-7 will have two regular season games left to improve on before heading into postseason play.
Despite their recent skid of losing six out of their last seven matches, the Mounties have the talent top to bottom to make a run at not only the district tournament, but the states as well.
If the team can get big wins from their lower seeds, their playoff opponents are in big trouble.
This Mounties team, led by coach Davis, is built for a big playoff run after last season.
