After spending their summer practicing at the Trenton courts while local courts were under construction, the Chillicothe lady hornets felt right at home playing at THS on Thursday night. They faced off against the lady bulldogs in a team dual under warm, sunny conditions. Trenton was led by their star #1 player, senior Astrid Soriano but were missing their strong #2 player for the night. Chillicothe played their full regular roster and ended the night with a strong 7-2 win.
The night started with commanding play from doubles Bianca Clark and Keeley Shira as well as doubles Jasmine McLean and Summer Gatson. Micah Crowe and Keonnia Morgan put up a good fight in a back-and-forth battle with Trenton’s number one doubles pair but eventually dropped that match. In singles play, Crowe had another tough battle with Soriano, but the rest of her team picked her up with confident individual matches to end the night with five singles’ wins. This win was also important for CHS as it improves their seeding in team districts in just over two weeks.
