• Hornets beat Borden: Carissa Embry scored medalist honors by shooting a 50, and Henryville enjoyed one of its most consistent rounds of the season as it defeated Borden at Hoosier Hills Golf Course, 223-242.

Katie Spellman (54), Katie Cleveland (59) and Sara Hensen (60) completed the scoring on the day for Henryville.

Brittany Newton led Borden with a score of 55.

“Our No. 3 and 4 girls are seeing their scores start to come down,” said Henryville coach Robin Embry. “Having one of them under 60 and another right at that score shows progress from the two of them.”

Henryville will face Charlestown next Wednesday.



BOYS’ TENNIS

• Eastern trips Clarksville: Pekin Eastern edged Clarksville by winning a three-set match at No. 3 singles to score a 3-2 victory.

Clarksville’s Robert and Jeremy Noe each provided the Generals with victories at the No. 1 and 2 singles spots, respectively. However, the Musketeers managed victories at both doubles positions — leaving the contest in the hands of the No. 3 singles spot.

Clarksville’s Matt Denton managed an opening set win over Jaben Temple in that match, but could not hang on as he was defeated 6-7, 6-0, 6-0.

“We played very well and continue to show improvement,” Clarksville coach Stephen Welcher said. “I am excited about the rest of our season.”

The Generals will play in the New Albany Invitational on Friday.
