WILMINGTON — The Wilmington High School tennis team defeated East Clinton 4-1 Wednesday in South Central Ohio League action on the WHS courts.

Wilmington, 9-3 with the win, was led by Matt Keiter, who posted a 2-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-0) win at first singles over Paul Luttrell.

“Matt played great,” WHS coach Steve Reed said. “He was down in the second set and showed wonderful mental toughness to come back and then dominated the super tiebreaker.”

“I look forward to seeing what he can do in the next couple of matches at Centerville (Thursday) and then at home against Chillicothe on Friday,” said Reed.
