BOYS' TENNIS ROUNDUP: Providence edges Jeff 3-2
Sep. 7—CLARKSVILLE — The Providence boys' tennis team swept the singles courts en route to a 3-2 victory over visiting Jeffersonville in matchup of sectional foes on Tuesday afternoon.
Alex Kemp clinched the victory for the Pioneers with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win over Jaden Wells at No. 1 singles. Also for Providence, Jacob Kaiser defeated Teddy Burnette 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2 while Luke Banet downed Ben Eiten 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3.

"Our singles played really well today," Pioneers head coach Scott Gurgol said. "Jacob and Luke got us out to a quick 2-0 lead. Number two doubles started to figure out some things and nearly pulled out the second set. But our captain, senior Alex Kemp, finished the job. It's a great regular-season win, but it's just one win. I told the team we still have a lot of work to do to be ready for the postseason."
