The Chillicothe Hornets Tennis team 15-2 are MEC
conference and district fifteen champions. The Hornets
defeated the Cameron Dragons 5-0 at Daryl Danner Memorial
Park. All three doubles teams took the courts to begin the
match. Garrett Peterson and Nate McKiddy beat Daniel Rogers
and Jeremy Whitaker 8-0. Gabe Poling and Lane Bonderer won 8-1
against Arthur Muhl and Jake Findley. Brandon Lamp and Cody
Evans finished the sweep of doubles winning 8-5 over Gage Zeit
and David Curtis. Garrett is 19-4 in doubles on the season and
Nate is 18-4. Gabe and Lane are now 9-0 as a doubles team.
In singles, the first two to record a victory bring the
match to a close. Gabe Poling defeated Arthur Muhl for the
third time this season. This time 6-1, 6-0. Garrett Peterson
finished just a couple of minutes before Nate McKiddy. Garrett
won 6-2, 6-0 over Daniel Rogers. Unofficially, I added another
victory to Nate's season total as well. Making him 12-1 in
singles on the season, with his 6-0, 6-4 win over Jeremy
Whitaker. Brandon Lamp and Lane Bonderer had each won the
first set 6-2 and 6-3 respectively when time had been called.
