The Bellmont Braves were eliminated from the postseason in their sectional opener against the favored Norwell Knights, who won in straight sets in all five matchups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a tough end to the season,” noted head coach Kyle Arnold. His Braves found pockets of really good play this season and probably won a few matches they shouldn’t have, all while growing as a team through tragedy and loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The girls played very well,” said the coach to sum up the day Thursday, “but Norwell is just a juggernaut this year in the conference and in our sectionals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday marked the end of the run for doubles partners Marisol Jackson and Isabelle Ortiz. The only two seniors in the lineup have served as an example to a lot of younger girls on the team about how a doubles team should play together and help each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four out of the seven players on the BHS varsity roster were just 10th graders this year and many of the losses suffered by junior Leila Jin at No. 1 singles were to this year’s seniors, leading most to believe that this Bellmont team will be better next year than they were this year with that much talent returning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwell will play Adams Central in the sectional final Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
