Fender advances with 2 wins at tennis sectional

0

The tennis season continues Saturday for Wilmington High School sophomore Jonathan Fender in the Div. I sectional tournament at Centerville High School.

Meanwhile, the Blanchester, Clinton-Massie and East Clinton players were all ousted from the Div. II sectional at the Lindner Family Tennis Center at Kings Island.

The top performance in Mason was by Zach Hammonds of Clinton-Massie who won two matches before being knocked out by Pablo Guzman of Indian Hill. Clayton Amburgy of CM also won a match.

“The growth of Hammonds and Amburgy in game strategy is significant, considering their newness to the sport,” CM coach Lynn Deatherage said. “Both of Amburgy’s matches went three sets, so endurance and experience played a role today. (Cole) Isaacs, (Drew) Keller got to play on center court for their doubles match against Goshen.

“I’m really pleased with the way all our guys represented CM today. They showed great match play and sportsmanship all day, against some seasoned opponents. Who would have thought that Amburgy, a freshman, would still be on the courts at 3:30 p.m. in the last match of the day?!”

At Centerville High School, Fender advanced to within a win over going to next week’s district tournament. Fender notched a couple of wins, including a 6-2, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 triumph over Matt Lockman of Little Miami in the second round.
