out-lasts Columbus East

The Owls edged Columbus East, 3-2, at the Shelbyville Invite Saturday and extended two other opponents within matches before succumbing.

Seymour lost to Shelbyville, 4-1, and Westfield, 5-0, but coach Sharon Wood was happy with the squad’s overall play.

Wood called it “a great tournament. Our players are really starting to stroke the ball with some intensity and confidence. That improvement showed in our match against East and a very close match against Shelbyville. Hunter (Heckman) really stepped up today and played excellent at No. 1 singles. I am very proud of his mental game in all three matches today.”

Winners against Columbus East were Heckman, 2-6, 6-1, 10-6, Brandon Hubbard and xxx at No. 1 doubles, 6-1, 6-0, and Eli Meyer and at No. 2 doubles, 6-2, 6-1.

“We went to Shelbyville to compete and leave it all on the court and that is exactly what we did today,” Wood said.
