The Chillicothe Hornets Boys' Tennis Team (3-1)
traveled to Richmond Tuesday to play the Spartans. Chillicothe
without numbers one and three, Nate McKiddy and Lane Bonderer
had FFA commitments, defeated Richmond 9-0. Seniors Brandon
Lamp and Cody Evans stepped up and began the match with an 8-1
doubles victory against Brandon Hendricks and Tyler Boss.
Brandon and Cody played several doubles matches together in
2015, including qualifying for sectionals. Max Anderson and
Colton Webb moved up two spots in the rotation and were still
able to knock off Dylan Ohrt and Colton Baker 8-1. Junior
Jacob Hennington received his first varsity win with partner
Steen Anthony, beating Grant Decker and Lennon Puls 8-2.
In singles, Brandon Lamp continued the momentum with an
8-1 win over Hendricks. Cody Evans hurried out to a quick 5-0,
lead before holding off Boss for an 8-3 victory. Max Anderson
defeated Ohrt 8-2 and Colton Webb won 8-1 over Baker. First
year player Jacob Hennington, also won his first singles
varsity match, 8-1 over Decker. Steen Anthony filed the only
shut out of the match with an 8-0 win over Puls.
The wind made play difficult, but all of the Hornets
made adjustments and solidified their victories. The team
hosts St Joseph Benton on Monday, April 11 and then travels to
St Joseph Bishop LeBlond on Wednesday, April 13 (schedule
change). |
