The Terrier's hosted the Harrisonburg Blue Streaks Tuesday evening in a Region III semifinal boys tennis tournament, with the winner advancing to today's Region III final against E. C. Glass. Riding an 11-match win streak, Byrd came into the evening with great confidence. Harrisonburg's tradition of good tennis would put the Terriers to the test. When it was over, the Terriers winning streak came to an end, as the Blue Streaks won 5-1.

Byrd's Brennan Escobar handily defeated Scott Measell 6-0; 6-0 in #1 singles to give Byrd an early lead.  Escobar's ground strokes were too much for the Blue Streaks' #1.  Unfortunately, Escobar's victory at #1 singles would be the lone highlight for the Terriers.  Harrisonburg's #2 through #6 players made few mistakes and kept the pressure on their Byrd counterparts.  Jack Burden defeated Byrd's Joseph Davis 6-1; 6-3; Martin Vichner defeated Byrd's Jim Fisher 6-1; 6-1; Stefan Peric defeated Byrd's Trevor Perdue 6-4; 4-6; 6-3; Ian Frazier defeated Byrd's Bryce Martin 6-3; 6-1; Zak Kraimeche defeated Byrd's Will Trent 6-2; 6-2.
