nikiSenior, Nick McFarland will make his first trip to state in boys singles after narrowly missing last year playing doubles.  He had a hard fought battle in the semi final match after suffering a shoulder injury and leg cramps.  Nick was determined to give it all he had, pain or no pain, and ended up making it to the finals where he finished second.

nickLandry Sheridan will be making his second appearance at the state tourney.  In 2014, as a sophomore, he and his mixed doubles partner lost in the first round to the eventual state champs.  His boys doubles partner, Dax Davis, will be playing for the first time at the state tennis tourney.  These two seniors have one final goal as high school athletes…bring home gold.

We’re ALL in! 16/16/’16

That was our motto following our District Championship when 16 out of 16 players qualified for the regional tournament in 2016.  We swept our district and all 8 girls and all 8 boys placed first or second to win a trip to the Region III 3A Tournament held in College Station.  Our JV team also won their District Championship and earlier in the season our team barely missed another TEAM tennis state qualification by placing third at the regional tournament.  So, needless to say, it’s been a very successful season.
