Tyler Edlin had to overcome several obstacles Tuesday.
For one, the top-seeded John Hardin junior trailed in the first set, just the second time he’s been behind in a set all season.
But equally challenging was staying loose after his opponent, seventh-seeded Marion County senior Jacob Burdette, needed to take a medical break during the second set.
Burdette recently hurt his back and required medical attention between games until he finally needed to take an extanded break to deal with the pain.
