The East Noble men’s tennis team was in action on “Blackout” Friday against the Fairfield Falcons. The Knights came into the match with a ton of confidence after several strong showings the past week at the Concord Invite, at Columbia City, and at Canterbury. The Knights used that confidence to jump out to a quick lead on Friday against the Falcons winning at the #2 singles, #1 doubles, and #2 doubles positions before a slight period of inclement weather hit.
Jonathan Toles and Carl Kramer started slowly in the first set of the #1 doubles match winning 6-4 but quickly caught their stride finishing the second set with a 6-1 victory! The #2 doubles team of Brennen Biggins and Adam Albertin used their well-placed serves to transition to the net during their 6-1, 6-0 win. Evan Hart continued his very solid play at the #2 singles post as he cruised past his opponent with his patented baseline play, 6-3, 6-0. The remaining two matches at #1 and #3 singles were pulled off the court mid play due to a short rain delay. Once the weather subsided, the Knights were not able to complete a comeback at either position.
The EN JV squad suffered their 4th loss of the season on Friday evening as they were defeated by the Fairfield Falcons, 3-4. Winning for the Knights was Jayson Arend at #1 singles, Kyle Manns at #2 singles, and Corey Wagner at #4 singles.
