- Columbia City concluded last season at #7 in the District rankings.

Columbia City Details: From the results that I have seen, the Eagles are 2-1 on the season. They lost to Warsaw without their #1 player, who was sick. Then they defeated Whitko last night, who is traditionally a weaker team. They will be more than good competition.

Bethany Christian Details: We defeated two good teams last week, then a growing program last night in Mishawaka. Our record stands at 3-0.

Projected Columbia City Lineup:
#1S: Dylan Hinen (1-1)
#2S: Travis Johnson (2-1)
#3S: Derek Hinen (3-0)
#1D: J.T. Biggs-Alan Murphy (3-0)
#2D: Gabe Boles-Cole Craven (2-1)

Outlook: The Eagles are a very good team. This is not a match we should take lightly at all. The only match they've lost this season is to a district-ranked Warsaw team, and they lost without their #1 singles player. We are also a very good team. That's why we picked up this match. It won't be easy, it will be a battle. But that's what we play for. The close ones are the exciting ones. Let's show some energy and intensity in our battle tonight. Let's go!
