SOUTH WHITLEY -ÊThe Whitko boys tennis team will probably rack this year up to life experience.

After being defeated by Prairie Heights 5-0, the Wildcats' record stands at 1-14.

"We have a young team, very young," said Whitko coach Fred Lucas. "The best thing about our team is that we have six young players who will be able to play if they stick with it."

With sectionals coming in just a few days, Whitko is preparing the same way they normally do.

"Practice like always," said Lucas. "When you're 1-14, you just practice."

In singles action, No.1 Justin Roman fell to Shane Potts and No. 2 Nick Hamill was defeated by Scott Rose with the identical scores of 6-3, 6-1. At No. 3, James Hoffman was defeated by Brent Tubbs 6-3, 6-2.

In doubles action, Whitko's No. 1 team of Nathan Haywood and Jordan Schrader fell to Greg Kocker and Reid Culler 6-0, 6-2. At No. 2, Jarrad Jagger and Shawn Dorgan were defeated by Derrick Rinard and Jeb Thomas 6-2, 6-4. [[In-content Ad]]
