Sophomore Patrick Elliott, a member of Jeffersonville High School's tennis team, finished the year with a singles record of 21 wins and 3 losses and was selected to the 2008 Indiana all-state tennis team by a statewide panel of coaches. With his help, the team was able to knock off 4 teams that were ranked in the top 25 and finished the year ranked 17th in the final coaches poll.
Patrick plans to work on his game in the off season and play several USTA tournaments, working toward his long-term goal of playing tennis at a Division I school.
