Abbey Ashmore and Allie Boothe, Huntington's No. 2 doubles pair, defeated L. Cooley and K. Jordan of Wayne Academy 6-1, 6-1, before advancing to the semifinals past M. Sanderford and O. Watts of University Christian 7-5, 6-2.

Huntington's No.1 boys doubles team of Colby Gray and Trey Price were beaten 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 by John Kim and Enoch Enns of Mt. Salus in a hard fought match.

The mixed Doubles pair Julie Moak and Seth Swilley defeated Franklin Academy's C. Kreuz and C.J. Hawkins 6-2, 6-0.

"I am so pleased with my team's play in the tournament," said Huntington's tennis Coach and Tournament Director Emily Guida. "Each individual and pair has put forth great effort, and it is wonderful to have so many positions advancing in the bracket."
