“Consistent hard work leads to success and our girls and boys tennis teams have put in the time and effort to lead them to a successful place in spite of our last season being cut short. These kids have stepped up and believed in themselves and proven they have the ability to be great,” Coach Connie Payne said.
The doubles teams for both the boys and girls went undefeated in the region tournament.
“In addition, talent and teamwork can accomplish victory. As we continue our journey playing these matches carrying us closer to a state title, I have no doubt that together, we can keep working on our dream and prove that we have what it takes to be a champion,” Payne said.
