College) defeated Dallas Long by the score of
7-5, 6-4, and Greg Jones (UT Tyler) defeated

squared off in the finals and it was a battle
of youth versus experience -- Bedoy, the older,
more experienced senior, against Jones the freshman.
Bedoy was able to move the ball around the court
effectively and played a smart game; but was
no match for Jones’ speed and power. After
defeating Bedoy soundly in the first set, Bedoy
made his comeback effort but fell short of winning
the second set and Jones’ won the title
in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
