Jay County netters split in OAC (08/29/05)
JCHS boys tennis
MUNCIE — The quest for an outright Olympic Athletic Conference championship came up short Saturday.
Jay County dropped its opening match of the OAC boys tennis tournament — its first loss of the season — to the Connersville Spartans 3-2 Saturday. The Patriots came back to edge the Anderson Highland Scots 3-2.
They did not complete the day against Muncie Southside. Instead, they will host the Rebels Tuesday to complete tournament play — the match was already on the schedule, but was planned as a non-conference match.
Because of the long day scheduled for Saturday, teams chose to forgo the third set and play super tiebreakers. In its opening match against Connersville, the Patriots played four super tiebreakers, losing three.
The lone win in the extra session came from freshman Phillip Powell at No. 3 singles. He got his fourth win of the year with a 4-6, 7-5, 13-11 victory over Jacob Bumbalough.
Jay County (4-1) also got a quick win from No. 1 doubles pair Tyler Rigby and Randy Evans 6-0, 6-1 over Jason Arnold and Conner Gable, but could not come up with another tiebreaker victory.
Kurtis Hess came closest to a win at No. 1 singles, dropping a 28-point tiebreaker. Hess took just his second defeat of the season, 5-7, 6-4, 15-13 to Chris Bloom.
In other matches Josh Ludy lost to Tim Jeffries 6-2, 4-6, 10-4, and the team of Heath Rigby and Thomas McCowan lost to Adam Bouleware and Clayton Judd 7-6 (7-4), 5-7, 10-7.
Hess and Ludy rebounded against Anderson Highland to join the No. 1 doubles duo in giving the Patriots the team victory.
Evans and Rigby rolled against the Scots as they gave up just four games on the day. They improved to 6-2 — tied with Hess for the best record on the team — with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Rohan Patel and Brady Roundtree.
Hess defeated Eric Ray 6-4, 6-3, and Ludy fought off Anthony Duquaine 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.
Powell was close in the first set before falling 7-5, 6-1 to Zach McCurdy. Rigby and McCowan dropped a 6-3, 6-4 decision to Lance Faivor and Jack Shaw.[[In-content Ad]]
