Prep Report: Shelbyville's No. 1 doubles team captures sectional championship

Shelbyville tennis players Karson Schaf and Aiden Smith are sectional champions.

The Golden Bears’ No. 1 doubles team dropped the first set of the sectional championship match Thursday then rallied to win the next two sets to secure a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Indian Creek’s Landon Sichting and Trent Volz.

Due to inclement weather, the match was moved from Center Grove High School to the University of Indianapolis’ indoor facility.

Schaf, a senior (photo, right), and Smith (photo, left), a sophomore, now 22-4 this season, advance to the singles and doubles regional tournament on Oct. 14 at one of four sites – Fishers, Bedford North Lawrence, Kokomo or LaPorte.
