The Archbold girls tennis team played in the Division II sectional tournament, Thursday, Oct. 4, at Ottawa Hills High School.

The Streaks failed to make it past the second round.

Archbold hosted Wauseon for its final regular-season match, Monday, Oct. 8, and won 4-1 to finish the year with an 8-6 record.

“I was very proud of our team this year, especially our seniors who led us to another winning season,” said Logan Wyse, AHS head coach.

“I felt we played many close matches this year. Some went our way and some did not, but our upperclassmen always fought for every point.

“They will be missed, but we look to build upon their hard work next year as we have in the past.

“I believe we have younger athletes who are ready to step up to the leadership positions on the team, and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish.”
