Patriots Snap Bull Dogs’ Perfect Start in Conference Clash

Co-No. 17 Columbus North ran into a Terre Haute North team that refused to miss at the big points. The Patriots captured a 4-1 Conference Indiana decision despite a power performance from Alek Devidze, who dominated No. 1 singles 6-0, 7-5 with clean returns and first-ball strikes. The Bull Dogs (3-1, 1-1) dropped the remaining courts — both doubles in three-set grinders and straight sets on the middle singles lines — but left with teachable tape on patterns and poise for the next CI checkpoint.
