Graphic Printing Company Co-Players of the Year: Kate Manor and Kelsey Vest Delta High School junior and senior

Kate Manor and Kelsey Vest were selected as the inaugural Graphic Printing Company Co-Players of the Year for girls tennis.

“It’s a big honor,” said Manor. “Especially because there were so many people you could have chosen and that makes it feel special. It shows that our hard work paid off.”

The duo filled out the No. 1 doubles position for the Eagles throughout the regular season, earning a 22-4 record on the year. The 22 wins put both girls in Delta’s top-10 for career victories as Vest sits in seventh with 74 and after three seasons, Manor is in 10th at 71 wins.

They also contributed to the Eagles going 20-3 on the season, earning the 14th straight sectional title. Their season came to an end in the regional final as they fell to No. 4 Westfield’s duo 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Manor and Vest were named to the All-State girls tennis team for the second consecutive season and Vest also participated in the Indiana Senior All-Stars as well.

“We had the idea that people would see us with big targets since we got all-state last year,” said Vest, who said a standout moment was beating Franklin Central. “So we played harder than we did last year and focused more during each practice, trying to get each aspect of our game better.”

They’re super important," said DHS coach Tim Cleland. “It goes without saying they are both really athletic but they’re also really good friends. They’re very aggressive from the backcourt and at the net. … If you’re playing against them, you’re going to feel like you’re always under a lot of pressure.”

All-Graphic Printing Company first team:

Brenna Bailey, Jay County senior: Bailey capped off her career with a strong showing at No. 1 singles for the Patriots. She went undefeated during the regular season and only fell to Bamidele for a 15-1 record.

Elizabeth Bamidele, Delta junior: Also in her first year competing at the No. 1 single, Bamidele put together a strong 15-9 record while battling multiple top-30 teams throughout the season.

Brylee Beckley, Delta senior: Beckley played No. 2 singles for the Eagles, going 20-5 on the season. Through her four years at DHS, Beckley collected 67 wins to sit 18th in school history.

Alexa Bratton and Rowan Hinds, Delta sophomore and junior: Delta’s No. 2 doubles duo put together a 20-win season to add support from the back half of the lineup. As a pair the two combined for a 20-3 record.
