Staff report

The Sidney High girls tennis team opened the season on a good note Friday morning, beating visiting Bellefontaine 5-0.

“It was a great way to start the season,” said coach Emily Scheu. “All three of our singles players had tough opening sets but they all pulled out the wins and then won easily in their second sets. I’m sure there were some opening-match nerves, but the girls overcame them and got a good win.”

Madison Frank at first singles won 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, freshman Hailey New won 7-5, 6-1 at second singles, and Naomi Riegel won 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 at third singles.

The doubles teams had much easier matches. The first team of Caroline Gallimore and Auanna Edens won 6-1, 6-3, and the second team of Kathryn Saunders and Janae Drees won 6-1, 6-0.

There were also five junior varsity matches, and all were won by the Lady Jackets. The four players in those matches for Sidney were Zoe Crist, Nara Hecht, Jenna Rice and Lanie Shoukri.
