BERLIN- Stephen Decatur tennis standout Noah Fisher last week won the state 2A men’s singles championship.

Fisher started his run through the state men’s singles tournament with a win over Wicomico’s Ethan Bishop in the first round, then beat North Caroline’s Austin Lynn to reach the section championship. In the section championship, Fisher beat Kent Island’s Thomas Murray.
