DHS Tennis made some good progress
with several highlights at the difficult Fort Wayne Carroll
Invitational on Saturday.
The 17th-ranked Eagles started the day with a solid 4-1 victory
over 16th-ranked Homestead.
Ben Bryan picked up a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Homestead senior
Connor Andrews, who placed third in the IHSAA State Singles
finals last season.
Bond St. John rolled to a 6-3, 6-0 victory at No. 3 singles.
In doubles, Tate Dishman/Ethan Grove and Zach Richardson/Jordan
Chambers won by large margins, also.
In the second round, Delta lost 4-1 to 4th-ranked Plainfield but
not before putting a scare into the Quakers. Zach Richardson and
Jordan Chambers came up huge at No. 1 doubles with a 6-0, 6-1
victory. In the meantime, Ben Bryan won his first set 6-1
at No. 1 singles, but unfortunately he cramped early in the
second set and eventually lost 6-1, 4-6, (7-10). Ben did
hold off five match points before falling.
At No. 2 doubles, Evan Rodenberger and Brock Windsor won the
first set 6-4, but Plainfield rallied for a 6-4, 2-6, (7-10)
victory. Youngwoo Han and Bond St. John battled strong in
singles but came up short.
In the final round against 12th-ranked Canterbury, Delta started
at a big disadvantage because Ben Bryan was unable to play due
to cramps from the earlier round. Tate Dishman and Ethan
Grove won in straight sets at No. 1 doubles for the Eagles' only
point. Bond St. John had a 4-6 set at No. 2 singles; Josh
Hapner had a 3-6 set at No. 3 singles; and Brock Windsor/Evan
Rodenberger had a 3-6 set at No. 2 doubles.

TENNIS PAVILION
PROJECT

FORM TO DONATE
Our new shelterhouse has a name: the Match Pointe Tennis
Pavilion. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on name ideas.
On Nov. 19, 2009, the posts and trusses were put into place
for the new Delta Tennis shelterhouse! This date is special
because it is the birthday of Grandma Peggy Brown, whose death in
October 2008 sparked the inspiration for the building.
There is still
much work to do over a long period of time, but the dream is turning
into reality!
The facility is open for use
(although not finished) and will seat an estimated 100 people.
Almost all funds for the project are being raised through private
donations.
Here's how to contribute. We will
continue to raise funds as the project is completed in various phases
over the next couple of years.
Our vision for this project is that DHS Tennis will have the finest
shelterhouse in East Central Indiana.
Components include permanent seating, ceiling fans, water,
electricity, and an area to display dozens of photos from the past as
well as motivational sayings.

Lowe's for shelterhouse! See details
