Jay netters tie record (09/12/07)
Local roundup
The record is theirs.
With a 5-0 victory over the Adams Central Flying Jets Tuesday, the Jay County High School boys tennis team tied the school record for regular-season wins. At 12-1 - with 11 straight wins - the Patriots can break the mark Thursday when they visit Winchester.
The overall mark of 15 - both records were set in 2005 - is also within reach as JCHS has three regular-season matches remaining before heading to Marion to defend its sectional title.
The Patriots gave up just a total of five games and the No. 1 and 2 singles and doubles positions against Adams Central as junior Phil Powell led the way with his 11th win in a row. The No. 2 singles player clobbered Albert Andrews 6-0, 6-0 to improve to 11-4 on the year.
Mark Alberson and Adam Horn ran their season record to 15-1 with a 6-0, 6-1 triumph over Evan Timmons and Josh Smith, and the No. 1 doubles duo of Heath Rigby and Thomas McCowan (11-5) blasted Kyle Andrews and Landon Wheeler 6-1, 6-0. Senior Josh Ludy cruised as well as he pushed his season mark to 14-2 with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ethan Fiechter.
Chase Wellman jumped back above .500 at 3-2, dominating the third set at No. 3 singles after dropping the opening game to beat Austin Neadstine 7-5, 1-6, 6-1.
In junior varsity action Jared Valentine lost 8-6 to Kam Fiechter and defeated Ryan Colchin 3-1.
