PLYMOUTH – Isaac Triplett won the Blueberry Festival tennis tourney in Plymouth.
"The quality of competition is always high and the tournament is extremely well attended," Triplett said.
He was almost eliminated in the quarterfinals as he dropped the first set 4-6, but then bounced back to win the second set 6-2 and winning the match tie breaker 10-4. The semi-finals presented the most physical match as it lasted more than 2 1/2 hours. Triplett defeated the No.1 seed 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), but had little left in the tank for the finals that took place just 45 minutes after the semi-finals.

Hard Work, Focus and Conviction are Keys to Brennan Kelly’s Pitching Success
By Bill Barrows
There are players at every level in every sport who never seem to be in the limelight even when they are. It may not be the case, but Brennan Kelly seems to fit that description. Brennan came through the youth baseball levels here in Wabash County and was a solid player, but his left arm was his most notable asset. He pitched on most mounds around here with little fanfare, which seems alright with him.
"I would really lock in on the field and then in the weight room which has helped me overall, says Brennan. In games that I saw him play growing up and then later at Southwood High School, he always was focused on the task, was businesslike and no nonsense. He wasn't flashy, nor did he try to draw attention to himself. He just did his best to do what he was on the mound to do.

The Southwood football team struck early and often and left no doubt how the season opener was going to go against Manchester Friday night with a 59-18 win.
The Knights took a 14-0 lead in the first seven minutes, with Carson Blair finding Peyton Trexler for two early touchdown passes, one for 17 yards and another for 16 yards.
The Squires looked like they were going to keep pace with Southwood when Hayes Sturstman found Andrew McAtee for a 61-yard touchdown pass to cut it to 14-6, but the Knights dominated the rest of the way.
