Roncalli’s Boys’ Tennis Team had a very successful 2009 season highlighted by a win over Franklin Central to capture the Sectional Championship. The team then defeated Southwestern to advance to the Regional Final. There they were defeated by a Center Grove team that eventually finished third in the State. The team was senior laden and the experience paid off as the team finished 14-8. Junior Nick Strange who played number one singles, led the team in wins and was voted Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Strange was also named to the All-District Team where he was joined by the number one doubles team of seniors Brad Bourne and Shaun Heinzelman. All three also received All-State Honorable Mention honors. Seniors Trevor McCormick who played number two singles, and senior C.J.
