Hancock County Vs. Meade County
Playing for the second straight day, Hancock County was unable to build on their momentum, as the boys and girls teams both lost to Meade County, 3-2 and 5-0. For the Hornets, Payne Pence won his singles match, while the doubles team of Tre Condon and Van Reska won.
“The boys got up 2-0 after Payne Pence won his singles match as the number two,” Hancock County head coach Dan Hopkins said. “He’s really coming on. Our second doubles team won, with Tre London adding a real spark there, but our normal number two singles player was out. That affected our singles strength, with a beginner at number three. The two matches that went to overtime last time, lost in straight sets. Lucas, our number one, lost some rhythm from being off for two weeks. Meade has a strong girls’ team. We fought hard, and we will learn from it and get back to it Thursday against Butler County”.
