Eagles top Edgewood in tennis

Brown County traveled to Edgewood for a Western Indiana Conference battle and won 4-1.

“A great conference win for the Eagles,” stated Coach Kevin Roush in an emailed statement.

Duncan Ricci won 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1 singles, Shane Franklin prevailed 6-3, 6-2 at No. 3 singles, Bryce Fish and Evan Rose triumphed 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1 doubles and Dakota Patterson and Brady Rose rolled 6-0, 6-0 at No. 2 doubles.

Nathan Miller fell 6-3, 6-2 at No. 2 singles.

“This was a good way to go into a really tough week with four matches starting on Monday with rival Indian Creek,” Rouch stated. “It was evident that we had not played much tennis lately in the slow starts by most of the team. The No. 2 doubles team of Dakota and Brady really set the tone for us by playing well. Duncan and Nate seemed to be on their games, but Nate just came up a little short. Shane once again played solid at No. 3. After really struggling in the opening couple of games, the duo of Bryce and Evan settled down and won, though not as easily as they wanted.”

The Eagles varsity squad improved to 6-5 overall and 2-1 in the conference.

The Eagles won the JV match 4-1.

“The JV team continues to play well at all spots, which translates into a bright future,” Rouch reported.

The next match is at Indian Creek on Monday, Sept. 10.
