BOURBON – Triton didn’t have the boys tennis opener it had hoped, falling to Knox 4-1 Wednesday afternoon.

Opening both the season and the new Hoosier North Athletic Conference, Triton’s Gavin Eads at one singles was the lone winner, at 6-2, 6-2 final over Eian Coad.

Knox (1-0, 1-0 HNAC) claimed the other four courts, led by its doubles play from the No. 1 pairing of Brenden Damron and Keygan Mosier, a one and one winner over Jacob Albon and Jacob Heineman. At No. 2, Aaron Stichter and Chase Butler took a three and one decision over Ethan Cooper and Corey Hackler.

At No. 2 singles, Sequoya Elder beat Made Eads 7-6 (5), 6-2, and at No. 3, Kooper Broeker beat Dalton Bailey 6-3, 6-1.

Triton (0-1, 0-1 HNAC) returns to the home court Thursday for a date with Rochester, a 4:30 p.m. first serve.
