PORTSMOUTH — With a day in-between competition, the 2022 Southern Ohio Conference boys tennis singles and doubles tournament went off without a hitch at the Dr. William E. Daehler Tennis Center on the campus of Shawnee State University.
It was a clean-sweep for the singles and doubles titles for the Waverly Tigers tennis program — as senior Penn Morrison won his third SOC singles title in his high school career, and the top-seeded doubles team in Waylon Lamerson and Caden Nibert claimed the doubles championship.
The Tigers tennis team also won the SOC team championship by sweeping the league slate during the regular season.
Waverly’s Mark Stulley, Wheelersburg’s Nathan Sylvia, and Minford’s Charlie Neal were each named to the all-Southern Ohio Conference singles team by reaching the top four in the bracket.
Wheelersburg’s top doubles team of Preslee Etterling and Alex Thomas were named to the all-SOC doubles team as the tournament’s runner-up to Lamerson and Nibert.
The Division I and II sectional tennis tournaments will be held at the Daehler Tennis Center and Portsmouth High School on May 9 and 10.
