Dropping number one and two singles, the Knoxville Boys Tennis Squad had to rely on the rest of the singles to get momentum started for the Panthers meet against Indianola yesterday and 3-6 singles did their part by winning in straight sets and then the Panthers took two of the three doubles matches to take the meet over the Indians six/five. Braden DeLong, Ben Wallace, Cam Liston and Tyler Wells took wins in singles for the Panthers. Coach Greg Higginbotham tells KNIA/KRLS Sports the guys enjoy the individual battles, but enjoy team success as well. Knoxville heads to Bloomfield to finish a meet against Davis County that was rained out tomorrow.
