They are first in the good Western Buckeye League with an 8-0 record.
“Ryan (Goettemoeller) battled back strong in the second set after a quick first set. He had his guy on the ropes. If it had gone to three sets, he would have won it as his guy was tired. Ryan is the fourth seed and Griffin (West) is the two seed in singles at sectionals next week.”
