A rearranged Turkey Run lineup couldn’t stop South Putnam’s charge
through the 2008 season Tuesday night. The Eagles downed Turkey Run 4-1
to remain perfect on the season.

“Everyone is playing with confidence,” SPHS head coach Johnnie
Briones said. “A totally different lineup for the first meeting with
Turkey Run.”

Whitney Warren and Liz Mink continue to play solid tennis,
dispatching of their opponents in straight sets. Warren defeated
Jessica Norman at No. 2 6-2 and 6-2, while Mink downed Breanna Tappan
6-4 and 6-2 at No 3 singles.

Chelsea Clark struggled for the second night in a row, losing
her match at No. 1 singles 6-0 and 6-0 to Turkey Run’s Annika Seeger.

The Eagles No. 1 doubles team of Cassie Davis and Megan Criss
rebounded for last nights loss, with a 6-4 and 6-2 win over Kylie
Walter and Candance Foxworthy. The team of Megan Klotz and Samantha
Callahan took care of the Warriors’ Lisa Lamb and Brittany Knott 6-3
and 6-2 at No. 2 doubles.

South Putnam also won the junior varsity contest 7-2.

“Our girls had a slow start but hung on for the win,” Briones commented.

The Eagles will travel to South Vermillion Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
