Edmonson Voice Report:
For the second year in a row, ECHS freshman Brayden Johnson competed at the KHSAA Tennis State Tournament at Top Seed in Lexington. This year, Brayden advanced to state as the 3rd region runner-up. On Tuesday, Brayden defeated Colton Ralston - a senior from Lincoln County - 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the second round of the top 32 players. Brayden was then faced with the number four ranked player in Kentucky, Alden Johnson, a junior from Ashland Blazer, whose UTR ranking is 10.17. Brayden managed to win four games over Johnson in a 90 minute battle, losing 2-6, 2-6. “I do my very best to present Brayden with training opportunities year-round to enable him to compete at this high level," said Head Coach Jodi Johnson. "He plays weekly against Bowling Green, South Warren, and Greenwood’s top players. At the state level, it is often difficult for small county schools to compete with the Louisville and Lexington elite private schools—but we don’t make excuses. They may have more advantages, but they won’t outwork Brayden. He has played tennis less than three years, and his athleticism and determination have him right in the mix. Thank you to our EC schools and community for your encouragement and support of our tennis program."
