After sharing the SWOC Boys Tennis Championship last year, Harrison and Talawanda replicated the feat again this season.  The Harrison Wildcats and the Talawanda Brave both earned a share of the 2025 SWOC Boys Tennis Championship.  Head Coach Dave Williams and his Harrison team paired a 2^nd Place finish in the Regular Season and a SWOC Tournament Championship to stake their claim to their 2^nd consecutive SWOC Boys Tennis Championship.  Talawanda and Head Coach Nate Silberstein used an undefeated SWOC Regular Season (2-0) with a Runner-up finish at the Conference Tournament to win their 8th SWOC Boys Tennis Championship, which is the most by any school in SWOC history.  Regular Season Final Standings were: 1. Talawanda (2-0); 2.  Harrison (1-1); and 3.  Northwest (0-2).  Standings from the SWOC Boys Tennis Tournament were: 1.  Harrison (16); 2.  Talawanda (14); and 3.  Northwest (5).  Milo Flaspohler (Talawanda) was selected as SWOC Boys Tennis Player of the Year.  Dave Williams (Harrison), Steve Knull (Northwest) and Nate Silberstein (Talawanda) were picked as SWOC Boys Tennis Tri-Coaches of the Year.  For complete results, please go to the Boys Tennis - Tournament tab.

The 2025 Southwest Ohio Conference Boys Tennis Tournament will take place on Thursday, May 8, at 8:00 AM, at Harrison.  Heading into the tournament, the final regular season SWOC standings are: 1. Talawanda 6-5 (2-0 SWOC); 2. Harrison 5-6 (1-1 SWOC); and 3. Northwest 2-8 (0-2 SWOC).  The following tennis players headline the conference statistical list:  1st Singles, Milo Flaspoler (Talawanda) 7-3 (2-0 SWOC); 2nd Singles, Devin Fliter (Harrison) 4-4 (1-0 SWOC); 3rd Singles, Ridge Owens (Harrison) 5-3 (1-0 SWOC); 1st Doubles, Ari DelVecchio/Connor Pulaski (Talawanda) 7-1 (2-0 SWOC); and 2nd Doubles, Andy Page/Jesse Reynolds (Talawanda) 6-2 (2-0 SWOC).  The SWOC Boys Tennis Championship is decided by a combination of the regular season final standings and this tournament.  Team placements are awarded the following points: 1st = 4 points; 2nd = 2 points; and 3rd = 1 point. Then, both point totals (regular season and tournament) are added together to determine the Final Standings and the conference champion. Last Spring, Harrison and Talawanda were Co-Champions due to Talawanda finishing 1^st during the regular season and Harrison finishing 1^st in the SWOC tournament.  Good luck to all these SWOC athletes and coaches during this tournament which will help decide the 2025 SWOC Championship!!!
