Bob Long
The Chillicothe Boys' tennis team (7-1) hosted the
Trenton Bulldogs at Daryl Danner Memorial Park. The Hornets
took advantage of the inexperienced Bulldog team defeating
them 9-0. Gabe Poling defeated Alex Davis 8-0, running his
singles record for the year up to 12-0. Garrett Peterson
outlasted Jacob Davis 8-4. Garrett has a 6-2 singles record
with one of those losses in a tie-breaker. Juniors Nate
McKiddy and Brandon Lamp both won 8-1 defeating Bryce Whitney
and Isaiah Lickteig respectively. Cody Evans beat Jacob Hall
8-1 and Lane Bonderer won 8-2 against Kade Ockenfels.
In doubles competition, Peterson and McKiddy defeated
Davis and Davis 8-0. Poling and Bonderer beat Whitney and
Lickteig 8-1. In the final varsity match, Lamp and Evans
sealed the sweep with an 8-2 victory over Hall and Ockenfels.
With the closest varsity scores at 8-4, the Hornets won the
majority of the games that went to deuce. Alex Davis pushed
Gabe Poling, but it doesn't look like it in the score book.
Garrett and Cody's matches began close, before the home team
pulled away. Recently Nate McKiddy has spent very little time
on court in singles or doubles competition. Nate has given up
one game in his last four singles matches and won both doubles
matches 8-0 since the loss to LeBlond. Cody Evans and Lane
Bonderer have quietly compiled 5-2 and 4-1 varsity singles
records respectively. Thursday, the Hornets travel to
Savannah. Savannah (like Chillicothe) is unbeaten in
conference.
