Tennis sectional
MARION — The road to a fifth straight sectional championship match is paved for the Patriots. The only question is whether they can win a third title when they get there.
Jay County’s boys tennis team will need to win a pair of matches to reach the sectional finale at Marion, but they have already beaten the two teams which stand in their way.
The Patriots (7-6) open sectional play Thursday against the winless host Giants (0-13) at 4 p.m. They defeated Marion 4-1 in the 2004 season opener.
Next in the way would be the Blackford Bruins (7-9), who Jay County defeated 4-1 Sept. 15, in Friday’s 3:30 p.m. semifinal.
The other half of the bracket has the defending sectional champion Mississinewa Indians (13-3) taking on the Madison-Grant Argylles (5-6) in Friday’s other semifinal match. The championship match will be Saturday at 10 a.m.
Mississinewa defeated the Patriots 3-2 in last year’s sectional championship match, and the teams did not meet during the regular season this year. Jay County won sectional titles in 2000 and 2002.
Starfires open vs. HN
