Looked through the brackets, checked the Regional champs list from the other thread, and Ashland hoopster Ethan Sellars is paired with Cameron Brown on the Tomcats doubles team - terrific!

Seeing Sellars name reminded me of other players who were also great with the racket. Scott Draud (Highlands) was an excellent tennis player. Tim Cooper (St. Xavier), Kentucky's first four time singles champion was also an all-state basketball player. Cooper played both for the University of Louisville. Can anyone think of other multi sport athletes who had high level tennis on their resumes?

As an aside, 5th Region champion Maddie Stevenson's (Central Hardin) doubles partner is KK Ditto. What an awesome, awesome name. ?
