North loses to Knights
North Montgomery celebrated senior night Wednesday in a little different manner. Coach Devan Plant mixed up his lineup at the request of the seniors. Although the team lost 1-4 to Central Catholic, the evening was worth it Plant said.
“Beckett Martin and Cade Cole asked to play doubles, so I let them,” he said. “This also gave me the opportunity to play some guys in different positions who very well could be our singles players next year.”
The only win for the Chargers came from the normal No. 2 doubles team of Keaton Brown and Cayden Keller.
The Chargers (6-8) played at Seeger on Thursday and will travel Monday to Western Boone.

Chargers lose to Danville

“Once we settled in, we played much better,” Hodges said. “It was a good experience for us to work with trying to make in-game adjustments and that experience will allow us to improve.”
North Montgomery played Frankfort on Thursday.
