In the world of district boys tennis, Mexico is making waves once again as they advance to their fourth straight district title match. The Bulldogs secured their spot in the Class 1 District 6 team tournament by defeating St. Charles West 5-4. Their top players, including Brendan McKeown, Brixton Goerne, and Boston Davolt, dominated their singles matches, with McKeown and Davolt also clinching a doubles victory.
Their next challenge will be facing off against the reigning two-time district champion, Father Tolton, in a highly anticipated match at Cosmo Park in Columbia. With their impressive track record and skilled players, Mexico is determined to claim the district championship once again.
On the baseball front, Mexico faced a tough loss to NCMC rival Fulton in a nail-biting game that ended in a walk-off two RBI double by Ethan Burt. Despite a strong performance by Brady Fox and Drew DeMint, the Bulldogs fell short in the seventh inning. DeMint did manage to deliver a powerful two-RBI home run earlier in the game, showcasing the team’s resilience.
As they look ahead to their next game against Capital City, Mexico is focused on bouncing back and putting up a strong fight. Meanwhile, Van-Far concluded their regular season with a tough loss to state-ranked Cairo, but they are determined to stay positive as they head into the district tournament. With their sights set on redemption, both Mexico and Van-Far are gearing up for the challenges that lie ahead in their respective sports.
