Isaac and Simon Way admittedly expect to win their sets, especially when they team up for the doubles round.
“We know each other pretty well,” Isaac Way said, joking that Simon “has been pretty lazy.”
The brothers from Atlanta made the difference on Monday as Missouri Military Academy edged Mexico at the Fairgrounds Park courts 5-4.
Isaac blanked Randy Hernandez in singles play, winning 2-0, with the match using a best two out of three scoring format.

Head coach Traevonne Smith had confidence in his relay squads even before the season started. That trust was given a boost last Friday when Missouri Military Academy’s runners finished second in the 4x100 and 4x200 events at the Cunningham Invitational in Louisiana. The Colonels’ Gabriel Canonico took silver in the 300 meter hurdles, chased closely by Gage Gibson of Van-Far. Community R-6’s Victoria DiSalvo picked up a second in the girls 300 hurdles while teammate Paige Meyer tied for the second spot in high jump.
