Bloomington South hosts four-team Girls Tennis Sectional starting tonight
It’s usually a bit more cut and dried. Bloomington North or Bloomington South have won a sectional title every year since 2010. The Cougars have won the last three, but that streak is in jeopardy in a rebuilding year. The draw for the redrawn four-team Bloomington South Sectional, which will run Tonight and Thursday, will pit Bloomington North against Edgewood and Brown County against Bloomington South in the semifinals, leaving interesting rematches. Brown County and Edgewood have never won a sectional, but they’ve seldom been more competitive with the Bloomington squads.
Brown County (14-5), which plays seniors at all, but one doubles spot, lost to Greencastle and Sullivan in WIC play. But the Eagles beat South 3-2 (with wins at 2 and 3 singles and 1 doubles) and Edgewood 4-1. The Panthers took care of Edgewood 5-0 last Friday but had to win a pair of three setters at 3 singles and 2 doubles. South, missing two of its usual starters at the time, also beat North 3-2. Edgewood beat North early in the season, 3-2, with the No. 2 doubles match tilting it the Mustangs’ way. Edgewood (12-7) comes in off a 5-0 win over Linton and some of their increased success this year was due to the Mustangs finding ways to survive or rally to win three-setters in several critical matches. The Eagles, who returned all three singles players and this year’s No. 1 doubles team, have also tested themselves against No. 20 Delta, No. 16 Westfield.
