“We started off slow in the first set,” North Daviess coach Rebecca Hays said. “I think we were nervous. Shoals is greatly improved from last year. Their defense was impressive. We executed in the last three sets and got the win.”

Patriots nip Lions
LOOGOOTEE — Vincennes Rivet won the singles and Loogootee the doubles, giving the visiting Patriots a 3-2 tennis win Tuesday.

“I was really pleased with our doubles play,” Graves said. “Waylon and Gabe jumped on Rivet. It took a little time for Tyler and Will to come around, but once they got going, they played some good tennis.”
Hayden Bell won a junior varsity match for the Lions, as did Jordan Berry-Jayce Wagoner.
