| Union City and Obion Central had similar results on the courts.
Both saw their girls’ teams win and boys’ squads lose in tennis action Monday as UC split with Peabody at Trenton and Central did the same against Westview at the fairground courts in Union City.

Moore topped Madison Maitland 8-2, and Elam stopped Hamm 8-4. The duo then defeated Maitland and Gibson 8-2 in No. 1 doubles play.
Alex Pegram rallied from a 7-4 deficit for a 9-7 win over Brent Hopper at the No. 4 singles spot in boys’ action.
UC and Trenton spliit the top four singles spot, including a frustrating 8-6 loss by Jacob Triplett to Drew Butler, and the two doubles positions.
The fifth singles spot decided the match as Noah Allen held off UC’s John Harpole in an 8-5 outcome.
Triplett gained a measure of revenge on Butler, teaming with Peyton Cox for an 8-4 win over Butler and Nate Adams at the top doubles seed.
Central’s girls won three of their five singles matches and then split in doubles play.
Marissa Howard, Shelly Pate and Kristin Storey gave the Lady Rebels wins at the second, third and fourth spots.
Howard topped Natalie Hurst 8-2, and then Pate and Storey took 8-5 wins over Carlie Vowell and Madison Williams, respectively.
