THS netters lose at Elwood 5-0

ELWOOD –– The Tipton High School boys tennis team lost to Elwood 5-0 here on Wednesday afternoon.
“We had trouble getting control of our matches,” Tipton Coach Craig Frawley said. “We got down early in all of our matches and we just couldn't come back from those deficits.”
In the singles matches, Nick Waind defeated Garrett Clabough 6-4, 6-2; Justin Waind downed Quentin Boughton 6-3, 6-4; and Kyle Kaszuba upended Cameron Tragesser 6-2, 6-4.
The Blue Devils again had to forfeit at No.1 doubles.
At No.2 doubles, the Tipton freshman combination of Blake Good and Ethan Phifer won the first set 7-6 (3). But Elwood’s Brock Fettig and Drake Mengelt came back to win the next two sets 6-2, 6-4.
“Ethan and Blake’s first set is the only set we have won all year. They were starting to take steps in the right direction,” Frawley said. “They battled back from 1-4 and took the set in a tiebreaker.
“They dropped the second set and fought hard the entire third set. They were tied 4-4 and were extremely close to tying the set at 5-5, but just couldn't get the ball to drop their way. I was proud of the way they fought tonight.”
In one jayvee match, Elwood’s Zane Summer defeated Andrew Plake 8-7 (5).
“This was Andrew's first match of the year. It was good for him to get some on-court experience,” Frawley said. “He played really well and found himself in a tiebreaker. There were a couple of balls that could have gone either way, but I was proud of how well Andrew played tonight.”
The 0-3 Blue Devils return to the court this evening to take on visiting Frankfort.
