CINCINNATI HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
Young Kings rules FAVC tennis again
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Winning Fort Ancient Valley Conference championships is becoming a habit for the Kings boys tennis team.
Fielding a team without a senior, the Knights wrapped up a fifth consecutive championship Friday with a 5-0 decision over Loveland.
“This is pretty significant, because we lost a lot of key players,” first-year coach Dan Weckstein said. “We won with a freshman (Eugene Duke) and two sophomores (Alex Rekhtman and Josh Blatman) at singles.”
And the Knights' No.1 doubles team of junior John Brose and sophomore Brian Chapman went undefeated.
