WATERTOWN - Aberdeen Roncalli dropped a 7-2 tennis decision to Watertown on Tuesday, but the Cavaliers were still able to celebrate as they left the courts. Junior Mason Carrels capped a remarkable day by winning a dramatic 12-10 super-tiebreaker at number four singles. The match ended a very busy day that began at a track and field meet in Milbank. Following competing in the pole vault and a relay race, Carrels hopped in a vehicle and went to Watertown and immediate began playing doubles. "When he went into his singles match, I knew he had to be gassed a little bit," said Roncalli coach JD Carrels. He came out playing really well. The second set you could see it kind of setting in a little bit. That second set went pretty quick." That set up a super breaker. "Isaiah (Vilhauer), my assistant coach, went out and talked to him. He had said he had this whole (talk) planned and then just he looked at Mason and Mason goes, I’m not losing. I’ve got this," Coach Carrels said.
