KALAMAZOO — Visiting Brandywine was competitive in its match against perennial state powerhouse Kalamazoo Christian Thursday afternoon.

The host Comets defeated the Bobcats 6-2, in a match that was much closer than the final score.

Brandywine won two of the three flights that went to three sets with the No. 4 doubles team of Blake Magyar and Ryder Richard defeating the Comets’ Mario Moralez and Landon Koerner 6-2, 3-6 and 10-1.

The other win for the Bobcats came at No. 4 singles where Brody Prenkert defeated Noah Yonkers 6-2, 5-7 and 10-4.

Brandywine returns to the court Tuesday when it hosts Edwardsburg in a non-conference match.
