Tippecanoe Valley and Triton will each also be represented today at Culver Academies for the individual state tournament series play for No. 1 singles players and No. 1 doubles teams. The players involved were unbeaten at their positions in sectional play so they continue on as individuals even though their teams have been eliminated from postseason action.
