BOYS TENNIS: Thursday's roundup


EAST PENNSBORO 4, JAMES BUCHANAN 1 >> James Buchanan played plenty of close matches, but it couldn't pull them out in a Mid Penn Colonial Division loss to East Pennsboro on Thursday.

The Rockets (4-5, 1-5 MPC) had only two sets in which they didn't win a game, but the No. 1 doubles team of Isaac Shenton and Josh Summers was the only one to come out on top, winning 6-3, 0-6, 6-3.

"It's been a long week," JB coach Terri Beegle said. "The No. 1 doubles keep doing their thing, and Hunter Sowers and Clay Murray were very competitive today."

Sowers won the first set 7-5, but lost the final two, 6-3, 10-7. Murray lost in straight sets but put up a good fight, dropping a 6-4, 6-4 defeat.
