Watching Our 4D go 3-0 Day 1 of H Dubs Tourney
2 1/2 Weeks Left in the Regular Season
The team finished 3rd in the Doubles Tourney, but it was close overall. You can see the results below of all 8 teams. 1D had some very close matches and a tough pool to begin play. It could have gone either way. 2D and 4D went 3-0 Day 1 to make contributions to the team's score. 3D won 1 match and had two other tough matches, but they still got the team a point. Congrats to 2D and 4D for earning medals and grinding it out in some tough weather Day 2!
This week is another big one and JV only has 3 regular season matches left. We have Webster Groves on Wednesday, which is also our Senior Match! Can't wait to honor the 8 seniors we have in the program! Thursday and Friday the Top 14 boys will be playing in GACs and will be out both days of school. Make sure you don't make plans Saturday in case of a rain out day needing to be used and because of the Car Cleanse scheduled! Let's enjoy another big week of tennis!
