After rain delayed Saturday’s DeKalb Invite and changed the format, the Bellmont Braves put two entries into the championship match and finished in third place behind two tennis powers for a fine performance as sectionals near. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emma Fuelling’s outstanding 2024 campaign continued with a pair of wins to reach the finals, while Ella Ross and Lilyana Suarez also made the championship matchup for the Braves at No. 2 doubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Braves face a sectional opponent in Bluffton at home Monday before playing two important NE8 matches against Huntington North and Leo later in the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
