WC tennis, softball earn easy wins

Published 7:58 am Thursday, March 22, 2018

Warren Central’s tennis team collected another win Tuesday, beating Provine 7-0 in a Division 4-6A match.

Elaina Bailey beat Alexandria Husband 6-0, 6-0 in No. 1 girls’ singles to get things rolling. The Lady Vikes then added points in No. 2 girls singles with Raven Thompson beating Jasmine Hirt 6-0, 6-2, and Lexi Stewart and Madison Embry winning their doubles match 6-1, 6-0 over Mercedes Jenkins and Christine Wooten.

Provine did not have any boys players, and thus forfeited both of those singles matches, the boys’ doubles match and the mixed doubles match.
