Elwood’s Kennedy Perrin and Frankton’s Addie Brobston and Emily Bilyeu were named to the All-Central Indiana Conference girls tennis first team recently. Perrin and Brobston are seniors and played No. 1 singles, while Bilyeu is a junior and played No. 2 singles. This was the first all-conference first-team honor for all three players. All-in-all, 14 players earned first-team honors, while an additional 10 received honorable mention honors. Elwood senior Kenzee Garringer and junior Raeghan Wisehart earned honorable mention honors for their play at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively. Honorable mention selections from Frankton were seniors Haylee Niccum (No. 3 singles) and Launa Hamaker (No. 1 doubles).
