Fulton boys drop tennis opener to Osage

Freshman Haydon Windsor was responsible for the Hornets' lone win in Tuesday's 8-1 season-opening loss to the visiting Indians.

Windsor fended off Osage's Jordan Wilson for his 10-7 triumph at No. 1 singles.

"I liked the way Haydon battled; it was a close match the whole way through," Fulton head coach Rob Fisher said. "He found a way to pull away for the win and showed a lot of poise for such a young player.

"He was hitting some pretty deep shots and he had good ball placement."

From a team standpoint, Fisher had reason to be optimistic despite the Hornets' setback.

"The guys were really resilient, even though we didn't get the results we wanted," Fisher said.

Fulton remains at home for a non-conference matchup against Columbia Independent at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
