The Brandywine tennis team kicked off its season Saturday by hosting an indoor tournament at the Lakeland Athletic Club.

The Bobcats ended up sharing the championship with South Haven as the two split the eight flight championships, winning two in both singles and doubles.

Earning championships for Brandywine in singles action were Jessica Blank (No. 1) and Victoria Knight (No. 4).

Mackenzie Shelton and Carlie Newman won the flight championship at three doubles, while Patience Newman and Alli Srmek were the winners at No. 4 doubles.

Knight, Shelton and Newman are all out for tennis for the first time. The trio helped the Bobcats to conference, district and regional championships in basketball this past season.
