Third-ranked Park Tudor needed a little over an hour to defeat eighth-ranked Bloomington South, 3-2, to claim its seventh boys tennis state championship at North Central High School.
With Park Tudor (19-2) leading the match 2-1 thanks to wins at No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles, the No. 1 doubles team of Derek Reinbold and Matt Neal, a pair of seniors, clinched the Panthers’ championship with a 6-3, 6-2, victory over Bloomington South juniors Matt Acton and Ben Stowell.
It was the second championship in four seasons for Park Tudor and coach Dave Heffern. The Panthers have never lost a match in their seven trips to the state finals (15-0) and their seven titles rank second in state history only to North Central’s 17 crowns.
Park Tudor’s Brendan Tannenbaum took a 6-1, 6-2 decision from David Wong at No. 2 singles and the No. 2 doubles team of Jack Miles and Sam Geier topped Donovan Thomas and Matt Helm, 6-3, 6-0.
Bloomington South, which finished 18-1, picked up its points from Ronnie Schneider at No. 1 singles and Clayton Fletcher at No. 3 singles.
Park Tudor topped No. 22 Concord, 5-0, in Friday’s quarterfinals and No. 9 Center Grove, 3-2, in Saturday’s semifinal round. Bloomington South, playing in its first state championship match under the dual format, beat No. 11 Zionsville, 3-2, on Friday and No. 10 Munster, 3-2, in the other Saturday semifinal.
This was the first year of a new format that advanced eight teams to the state finals.
