For the first time since 2017, the Eagles won the Kokomo Invitational over the weekend.

The day began with a 4-1 victory over Peru.  In the second round, the Eagles dropped a 3-2 decision to Kokomo.  And in the final round, the Eagles won 4-1 over West Lafayette.

With Delta, Peru and Kokomo all winning two of three team matches, it came down to counting individual wins to determine the team trophy winner.  Delta gained 10 wins, Peru 9 and Kokomo 8.

Junior Kody Vest went 3-0 at No. 2 singles.  Seniors Dalton Royal and Preston Shanayda also went 3-0 at No. 1 doubles.  Senior Jake Bilby was 2-0 at No. 3 singles.  Sophomore Aaron Elliott was 2-0 at No. 2 doubles, winning against Peru with Tyce Dishman and winning against West Lafayette with Kam Swoboda.

With an 8-4 record, the Eagles return to conference action on Tuesday with a match against arch-rival Yorktown.  The match starts at 5:00 at the Tiger courts.

In JV action, Delta fielded a complete team as well as a combined team with three Peru players.  The Eagles finished with a 2-1 record and finished second to Kokomo, which also was 2-1 but won the head-to-head match over Delta.

Senior Caleb Hewitt and freshman Jason Ogle each went 2-0 on the day.  Also finishing with a 2-1 record were Ben Miller, Brady Williams, Will Kile, James Root, Jacob Williams, Hanson Heintzelman, Maddox Weddle, Charlie Knapp, Justus Subler, Brandon Wagner, Caden Moss and Ayden Mitchell.  This was the first action of the season for Mitchell, who has recovered from knee surgery,
