The power might have been out around West Johnston on Wednesday night, but it didn’t happen in time to keep the Wildcats from reaching the third round of the NCHSAA Men’s Tennis Dual Team playoffs.
The rest of JoCo didn’t fare quite as well, though Clayton will take its shot at reaching the next round today at 4.
