Undefeated varsity tennis advances to regionals

The varsity tennis team completed their fall district season undefeated after beating the Dumas Demons 12-7 and the Palo Duro Dons 18-1 last Saturday.

The team will head to Wichita Falls this Thursday at 9:30 a.m. and head coach Aaron Fuller will attend the coaches meeting that night at 8 p.m. to determine their rank at the regional tournament.

“It is important that we’re seeded one through four,” Fuller said. “If we aren’t we could play some of our toughest competition early on in the tournament.”

With last year’s fall season resulting in a semifinal loss to Wichita Falls Old High for the second consecutive year, the team said they feel prepared and confident going into this year’s tournament.

“We played Old High on Aug. 20 and lost 5-14, but I think we’ve worked really hard since then,” Fuller said. “Playing them early on in our season showed us what we needed to focus on, and I feel we have improved. We’re ready to go down there and compete.”
