Waldron’s Mackenzie Shaw and Megan Bogemann came within one win of reaching the IHSAA Girls Tennis State Finals Doubles Tournament.
The pair, unbeaten entering the regional championship tournament Saturday at Fishers High School, won their semifinal match but came up short in the championship.
Before arriving at Fishers, Shaw and Bogemann attended graduation ceremonies. The start time of their semifinal match was pushed back 90 minutes to accommodate their schedule.
Once they arrived, the Mohawks quickly took control against Blue River Valley’s Samantha Webb and Jenna Willis and prevailed, 6-1, 6-0.
In the other semifinal, Hamilton Southeastern’s Misha Bukkasagaram and Emily Orme defeated Brownsburg’s Shelby Allen and Evelyn Cougill, 6-1, 6-1.
