Loogootee also took both doubles spots, with Noah Callahan and Mark Potts beating Justin Granger and Justin Hart, 6-1 and 6-0. Eric Greene Jordan Guinn posted an 0 and 0 win over Ron Bozarth and Harrison Holmes.
“This kind of match can be difficult to play,” said LHS coach Rick Graves. “We know Washington Catholic is trying to reestablish their tennis program, and they are largely an inexperienced team. Our goal was to play our style of tennis and to try to play as efficiently as possible; for the most part we were able to do that.”
