OWENSVILLE — Blanchester’s 4-1 win over Clermont Northeastern Thursday was the fourth win in the last five matches.

The SBAAC National Division victory puts the Wildcats at 7-6 overall and 6-1 in the National Division. With East Clinton’s win over Georgetown Thursday, BHS is in first place while EC and GHS are tied for second at 5-2.

“Had to switch our doubles up but overall I thought both pairings competed well,” BHS coach Matt Sexton said. “Credit to CNE’s first singles for throwing something at us we were not expecting. Once Lilly (Bates) got a handle on it, she pretty well cruised from there. Katelyn (Toles) and Lydia (Siler) did a nice job taking care of business. First doubles played a very smart and solid match.”
