Forever #HailState (7/7)

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

A little life news…as of today, I officially begin retirement from @HailState Athletics. I started as a sports information student assistant in 1991 & have worked with virtually every one of our teams – serving many roles - in the three decades that have since passed. (1/7)

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

I humbly thank every media member, colleague, co-worker, coach & student-athlete I have had the privilege of knowing & has been a part of my incredible journey. I will always cherish the memories every moment @HailState has provided me, both professionally & personally. (6/7)

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

Definitely another outstanding year for Emma who is improving year-by-year. NCAA 1st rd as a rookie. NCAA Rd of 16 in her second appearance this week. Fifth All-American in @HailStateWT history. Can’t wait to see what she accomplishes in the coming years. #HailState

[Mississippi State Women's Tennis 🎾 @HailStateWT]

Here’s a look at a few of her accomplishments in 2021:

▪️All-SEC First Team
▪️6 ranked victories
▪️18-6 overall record

Don’t worry, she’ll be back next year 😉

Another tough one today but a solid effort against the nation’s second-ranked tandem. Great doubles season for Flo & Ram who will both be back for much more in 2022! #HailState

And he’s not done just yet. Don’t forget...Flo & Gregor Ramskogkler open NCAA Doubles action tonight at 6 ET!

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

Great first career appearance in NCAA Singles for Flo. Upset a top 16 seed in his opener & went three sets in the 2nd rd against another Top 25 opponent. A great season from this guy & a TREMENDOUS amount to look forward to in his final season as a Bulldog next year. #HailState

A tough battle...

No. 21 Adrian Boitan (Baylor) def. No. 48 Florian Broska 1-6, 6-1, 6-2

A dominant showing by Broska in his first NCAA Singles Championships. He finishes the 2021 season with a 20-16 individual record.

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

Incredible determination by Emma to pull this out. By advancing to the NCAA Singles Sweet 16, she earns All-America honors for the 1st time in her career. She's the 5th player in @HailStateWT history to become an All-American & the 2nd to make NCAA Singles Rd of 16! #HailState

Tough one today for GO. The setback ends one of the greatest careers in @HailStateMT history. The three-time All-American (2x singles, 1x doubles) amassed 164 total wins, tying him for 10th all-time at State in victories. GO, you will forever be in the Bulldog #Family. #HailState

[Mississippi State Men's Tennis @HailStateMT]

Thank you Gio, for everything you’ve done in the Maroon & White.

Tough ending to an incredible season for these men who were battling to the final point...Dawgs were working on a strong comeback bid when A&M finally clinched.

18 wins. Made MSU’s 29th all-time NCAA appearance. Earned State’s 15th NCAA Round of 16 in 25 seasons. #HailState

Personally, that was one of the best college tennis matches I have ever witnessed, and I've seen a few... #HailState (4)

[John R. Cade @jrcade]

Absolutely indescribable fight in these men today. Dropped the closest doubs pt possible (3 breakers). Down a break in 5 singles 1st sets (saving several set pts along the way). None of it mattered in the end - Bulldogs are headed to the @NCAATennis Round of 16!!! #HailState (1)

[Mississippi State Men's Tennis @HailStateMT]

It Just Meant More.
