State Champs! MAGGIE DONOGHUE ’10 AND HAYLY HUMPHREYS ’10 completed their senior
year with a crowning victory. The doubles team won the TSSAA Division II AA state doubles tennis championship, defeating the doubles team from Ensworth 6-3, 6-4. This is the second title for Donoghue who helped Hutchison to the state team title in 2009 and also was runner-up for the 2009 state doubles title with partner Maggie Leavell ’12. After winning the match, both Humphreys and Donoghue, who did not drop a set on the way to this year’s state title, admitted to feeling the pressure to claim the victory for their senior year. “We had a little bit of a hiccup in the second set,” Donoghue said, “caused by nerves and the emotion of it being our last high school match and our last time to play together.” With the state doubles win, Humphreys, who has not lost a singles match in over two years, became the first female Tennessee high school player to claim the “Triple Crown” in TSSAA Division II tennis. In 2009, Hayly won the Division II state singles championship and also led her team to the state team title.
