BOYS TENNIS

Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching. For many, this annual three-day holiday is the unofficial transition from summer to fall. It’s a time when outdoor opportunities collide. Camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, paddling and more are all available to those looking for an outside adventure. If you haven’t made plans yet, there is still time to figure out how to make the most of this holiday that was created on Sept. 5, 1882 to celebrate the laboring class of our country. Make those men and women, past and present, proud by catching a bass, barbecuing some brats or blowing off steam floating your favorite river.

The Northside boys tennis team opened its season with a 3-2 win against Center Grove Central on Wednesday.
