LIMA — Kenton’s Kyle Phillips was the lone winner for Kenton in boys tennis action on the first day of the Division II sectional at the University of Northwestern Ohio.
Phillips was a first round winner over Nick Cunningham of Bath 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).

The Wildcats Dillon Kitchen serves the ball in his and Austin Edler’s doubles match.

In other singles action, Bath’s Jason Lauf defeated Jake Abbott 6-0, 6-2 and Celina’s Alex Seibel downed Braxton Kiess 6-0, 6-1.
