The Franklin County Wildcats Tennis team took on the Batesville Bulldogs in a huge EIAC matchup. The Cats were coming off of a loss to East Central and were in desperate need of a win. They came out and performed just like they needed to winning 3-2.
The #1 doubles team of Braydon Ertel and Dylan Little were next off with a victory to stay undefeated on the year and tie the match up. Landon Bundy then got a much needed win at #1 singles and Trevor Murray pulled out a tough win at #2 singles to clinch the match. A win at #2 doubles for the Bulldogs was too little too late as the Cats pulled off the 3-2 victory. This was the first win for the Cats against Batesville in approximately 17 years.
Congrats to the Boys tennis team on a huge conference victory. They will be back in action Wednesday night at home against the Lincoln Eagles. Come out and support the Cats as they look to continue their strong season.
