I don't want anybody else to take credit for getting the prediction right, so I'm going to go ahead and say it: Statesville's boys tennis team will win the 2007 3A state championship.
The Greyhounds looked awesome Tuesday, obliterating their first-round playoff opponent, 5-0. And it wasn't just anybody they beat. Defending state champion Hickory, winner of the last four Western regional titles, packed its bags early.
Five of Statesville's top six players -- Preston Spencer, Russ Ferrari, Thomas Fanjoy, Thomas Gaither and Luke Gillis -- helped the Greyhounds reach the state semifinals last season before losing to Hickory.
Yes, look for Statesville to hoist the program's first state championship trophy since 1997 on May 26 in Burlington.
