By Nathaniel Smith, Editor

On Friday October 4, Coach Kevin Albertson and the Salem Lions Boys Tennis team traveled to Floyd Central after defeating the Eastern Musketeers 5-0 in the first round of the IHSAA Tennis Sectional Championship. Unfortunately this time, the Lions experienced the inverse of the Eastern match. Although they fought tooth and nail, it was not quite enough for the Lions to come out on top, and Floyd Central walked away from the courts with the Sectional Championship trophy after wrapping up the day at 5-0. Floyd Central will now travel to Jeffersonville to face off against Silver Creek on October 8 for the Regional Semifinals.

Next up for IHSAA is the Girls Volleyball Tournament Series. All three Washington County schools will be participating in the Sectional Championship on October 17 and 19. Click Here for more IHSAA volleyball information.
