It seems the only thing that could stop Watauga’s boys’ tennis team Monday was the weather.

The rain storm that passed through the area Monday brought Watauga’s Northwestern 4-A Conference tennis match with South Caldwell to a halt, but not before the Pioneers tucked away a 5-0 victory over the Spartans at the Carroll Complex.

Watauga (15-2, 10-0 NWC) won five matches in straight sets and was on its way to winning a sixth before the rain fell. Preston Stigall, playing the No. 5 seed, was in front of Caleb Edwards 6-2, 2-1 before his match was suspended.

Stigall’s match was the only one that was not completed. Michael Smith, playing No. 2 singles, and No. 3-seeded Kevin Ashline both won their matches 6-0, 6-0. Brian Geldmeier won his No. 4 singles match 6-0, 6-1 and No. 6 seeded Davis Roberts won his match 6-1, 6-0.

At No. 1 singles, Steve Lake beat Marshall Frank 6-1, 6-1, completing the sweep. No doubles matches were played.

Watauga hosts Alexander Central Tuesday at 4 p.m.
