The MTCS tennis duo of junior Thomas Goodwyn and freshman Will Reeves didn't win the ultimate prize, but they nevertheless came away from the TSAAA Spring Fling with a lot of positive memories.

Goodwyn and Reeves reached the finals of the Class A-AA doubles championships on Friday before ultimately falling 6-4, 6-1 to Knoxville Catholic seniors Mitchell Jostes and Matt Holloway in the finals.
"This week was great, and it's really hard to get to the state," Reeves said. "The state is a new challenge, and we played good this week. They were just better today."
Goodwyn credited his younger teammate for helping him through a difficult week.
"I was sick, but I knew Will would keep training," he said. "Last year getting here was priceless, but we weren't that nervous this year. It was nice to beat a Notre Dame team (on Thursday). It was a very satisfying week. We've got a lot to build on for next year."
Reeves and Goodwyn defeated the team of JR Davis/Andrew Lisy (Notre Dame) 6-2, 6-3 to reach the championship match after winning their quarterfinals match as well.
