McCracken County's Tommy Hagan and Logan McKinney won the boys doubles title at the State Tennis Championships Saturday at the University of Kentucky’s Boone/Downing Tennis Complex.

Hagan and McKinney, who were seeded fifth, upset top-seeded Kamron Akrami and Matt Graft of St. X 6-4, 6-7, 10-8 in the finals.

Graft and Akrami swept the second-set tiebreaker 7-0 and took a 1-0 lead in the third-set super breaker. But Hagan and McKinney grabbed the momentum, taking a 7-4 lead before the St. X pair tied it at 8.

Hagan and McKinney took a 9-8 lead on a shot that hit the line. The St. X pair called it out but was overruled by the chair umpire. The McCracken duo won the match on Hagan’s slam at the net.

Hagan and McKinney beat Brody Bilderback and Adam Slone of Lexington Christian 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 in Saturday's semifinals.
