DECATUR-Kyle Arnold\u2019s first match in charge of the Bellmont girls\u2019 tennis program was a successful one as the Braves started the season Thursday with a 5-0 sweep of Jay County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still working on getting his lineup ready, Arnold is not yet at his full complement of players as the Spring Break holiday kept some girls from getting a full ten practices in before the inaugural match of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont senior Olivia Selking is one of the top singles players in the area. She started her 2023 season with a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Brenna Haines Thursday. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The biggest change to the lineup for the opener was a switch for Emy Faurote from singles to doubles as the senior left her traditional No. 2 spot and filled in at doubles with Isabelle Ortiz. Arnold hopes to have Marisol Jackson in that spot next week when the Braves host Bishop Dwenger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Selking used a strong return game and accurate hitting to win over Brenna Haines at No. 1 singles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sisters Leila and Lillian Jin won the other singles matches, dropping just one game per set on the two end courts opposite Selking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faurote and Ortiz had the toughest match of the night, but they showed their experience by winning tiebreaks at the end of the first and second set for the victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
