2011-2012

-- District Champs (10/18/11) ~ It took longer than we thought, and was closer than we would have liked, but your Varsity Tennis Team earned the District Championship with a 10-9 win over Martin. Thanks to everyone who was able to stop by and support. Only the top two teams from each district advance to our version of the playoffs, the Regional Tournament held each year in Abilene. This will be our 4th straight trip to Regionals, but it is the first District Championship in Team Tennis since 1985. Many teams have been close, and no team has ever finished below third in the district standings, but this group was able to prevail. ~~~ Coach Monroe

-- Regional in Abilene (10/28/11) ~ The Varsity team had it's best showing ever at the Regional Tournament in Abilene last Friday. The team defeated Colleyville Heritage in yet another dramatic 10-9 match that lasted about six hours. For the third time this season, they trailed 2-5 after the doubles, and then won 8 of the 12 singles matches to clinch the victory. The luck ran out Friday night as we fell to the #2 seeds from El Paso Coronado in the quarterfinals. They finish the Team Tennis portion of their schedule 17-3, the most successful team in school history. ~~~ Coach Monroe
