Tell City girls tennis tops Crawford County 4-1 at home

Tell City’s girls tennis team used a balanced lineup to beat Crawford County 4-1 on April 13, a result that did more than add another spring win. In a sport decided court by court, the margin showed Tell City could absorb one loss and still control the match through steady play in the other four contests.

The official Tell City Athletics listing placed the girls varsity dual at 4:30 p.m. CDT on Monday, April 13, 2026, and the score page recorded Tell City 4, Crawford County 1. Nick Weyer, who coaches both the boys and girls varsity tennis programs, had his girls team leave the day with a result that fit neatly into Perry County’s busy spring schedule.

That kind of 4-1 finish matters because tennis is won through individual matches rather than one all-or-nothing team effort. Tell City did not need a sweep to secure the victory, but it did need enough consistency in singles and doubles to keep pressure on Crawford County. The final score suggests that balance was there, with Tell City winning four of the five contests and leaving the opponent with only one point on the afternoon.

The timing gives the result extra weight. The Indiana High School Athletic Association’s girls tennis calendar opened first practice on March 16, and the state tournament series is set for May and June. That means April dual matches now serve as more than routine entries on the schedule. They help a team settle into roles, sharpen communication and build the kind of confidence that can matter when postseason pairings and seeding come into view.

April 13 also reflected the broader rhythm of Tell City Athletics, which had baseball, golf and track results moving through the spring scoreboard the same day. For Tell City’s girls tennis program, the Crawford County win stood out as a clean, businesslike performance. It also fit a larger pattern around Indiana girls tennis that day, where the Indiana High School Tennis Coaches Association score list showed several other 4-1 dual-match results, including Eastern Hancock over Centerville and Loogootee over Forest Park.

For Tell City, the message from Crawford County was simple: the lineup handled its work, protected the court and added a convincing result at a point in the season when steady wins carry real postseason value.
