The Concord High School boys tennis team has captured its first-ever semistate team championship.

The Minutemen avenged their only loss of the season by trimming the Penn Kingsmen at Leeper Park in South Bend.

Concord, 19-1, now advances to the eight-team state finals in Indianapolis.

The 22nd-ranked Minutemen will meet No. 3 Indianapolis Park-Tudor at 2 p.m. Friday on the North Central High School courts.

Senior Andre Moore won at No. 2 singles for Concord over Brian Hickman of Penn 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 while sophomore Jason Denton topped Kartler Kistler 1-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2.

Seniors Jared Queener and Matt Schoeffler of CHS won No. 1 doubles over Kingsmen Andrew Bushnell and Brad Walter 6-4, 6-1.

Seniors Mike Ciesielski and Cory Swaller of the Minutemen won No. 2 doubles over Penn’s Cameron Haramia and Spence Heise 6-2, 7-5.

Munter defeated Valparaiso, 5-0, in the other semistate matchup at South Bend. Munster, 19-0, also goes to Indianapolis.

In the past, Concord and Munster would have met in South Bend but both are going to Indianapolis in a new format with eight teams at the state finals.

Semifinals at North Central will be at 10 a.m. Saturday with the state championship contest at 2 p.m.
