DOVER − Cambridge High's boys tennis team put forth a solid effort during the Division II East District sectional tennis tournament held at Dover Park on Monday, May 11 which finished with a trio of Bobcats advancing on to district tournament next week.
Cambridge's Jacob Vincent earned the No. 1 seed at the tournament drawing, and Vincent played like a top seed by beating Coshocton's Chase Danielek by scores of 6-2, 6-2 to punch his district ticket.
Vincent enjoyed a first round bye, and opened his tournament action with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Nate Irvin from Steubenville Central Catholic to reach the finals.
"Jacob has really master his game this past of season," CHS tennis coach Tim Gibson said. "He still has to check his emotions, but we haven't seen his best yet. Hopefully we can get that out of him at districts."
Also securing the spot in districts was Cambridge's first doubles team of Silas Hutchison and Quentin Stora, the second seed in the tournament, who also secured an opening round bye.
Cambridge's Jacob Vincent captured the sectional title during the Division II Eastern District Sectional Tournament on Monday, May 11, 2026 at Dover City Park. Vincent defeated Coshocton's Chase Danielek by scores of 6-2, 6-2 in the sectional championship match to punch his district ticket.
In their second match, they beat Steubenville Central Catholic second doubles team White and Leonard 6-3, 6-2. And then in their finals match they defeated West Holmes No. 1 team Zheng/Shedron by scores of 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 to move onto the districts.
"Getting both a singles and doubles team out to districts is a plus," Gibson added. "Now to get our doubles team healed up before next Monday district match. They battled through some adversity today, and hopefully they grow from it."
Vincent, Hutchison, and Stora will return to Dover later this week to play for seeding and then will play in the District Tournament next Monday for the right to move onto the OHSAA state tennis tournament

BASEBALL
Steubenville 2, Cambridge 0: Host Big Red took advantage of a Bobcats' miscue to score two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to collect the victory.
Senior Dawson Geese was cruising on the mound for the Bobcats surrendering only two hits and two walks while striking out six through five innings. But getting through the sixth inning proved to be a little tougher.
After striking out the leadoff hitter, Geese issued a walk and followed with his second strikeout of the inning and eighth of the game. The next batter drew another walk to put runners on first and second with two outs.
The Bobcats (12-7) decided to walk the Big Red clean up hitter to load the bases. The strategy failed when a passed ball allowed two runs to score before Geese induced an inning-ending ground ball, a pitch too late.
Senior Mason Gregg and Cam Lauer had the only two Bobcat hits with singles.
Geese ended the night with eight strikeouts in six innings, giving up just two hits and no earned runs.
Buckeye Trail 12, Tuscarawas Central Catholic 1: The Warriors (10-7) coasted to the IVC road win over the Saints by jumping out to lopsided 8-1 lead after three innings.
Trail banged out 14 hits in the victory, with Chase Miller leading the way with a 3-3 effort with two doubles, single with two RBIs, while Sammy Brown doubled, singled twice with two RBIs. Sam Wayble doubled, singled with an RBI, Nick Atkinson doubled, singled with two RBIs.
Brown worked four innings to collect win on the mound, allowing one run on two hits with seven strikeouts and a walk.
SOFTBALL
Caldwell 6, Frontier 5: Junior Breighlee Morraco belted a walk-off two run home run in the bottom of the seventh to give Caldwell the thrilling victory.
Morraco added a single to her game winning "Big Fly" and finished with three RBIs, senior Makayla Mumaw singled three times and Sophia Marshall stroked a double with two RBIs. Matti Hesson added a pair of base hits, with Cecelia Marshall chipping in with an RBI single.
Mumaw turned in a complete game outing to earn the pitching victory for Caldwell (19-3), allowing five runs on six hits with eight strikeouts and a pair of walks.
