Butler County’s Tennis Team began play last week.  Both boy’s and girl’s teams started in dominating fashion.  The first week of the season ended with both teams being 2 – 0 with impressive wins over Ohio and Hart counties.  This week’s play has seen the team take to the road for their first away match at South Warren.  The boys once again dominated and took the win 4-1.  The girl’s had somewhat of a struggle and came up a little short.  Tuesday’s match was at home against Warren Central.  Both teams got it together once again and took total control, coming away with wins. 

The boys are currently 4 – 0 on the season, and the girls are 3-1.   Both teams are very strong from the top down, with hopes of several qualifying for state.  Sitting in top seeds right now for the boys is Matthew Embry and one and Brennan Grubb at two, and for the girls, it is Chanda Hampton at one and Katona Dockery at two.   Individual scores of each match are below.

This year’s team consists of five boys and eleven girls.  The boy’s team is made up of one senior, Dakota Merrick; two juniors, Remmington Harpe and Matthew Embry; one freshman, Austin Phelps; and one eighth grader,  Brennan Grubb.  The girl’s team has two seniors, Chanda Hampton  and Katona Dockery; three juniors, Kelsey Hughson, Rachel Johnson and Lennon Johnson;  two sophomores, Emily Wallace and Hannah Barrow; three freshman, Dalys Bishop, Ashley Mudd and Aspen Arnold; and one eighth grader, Jasmine Creager.
