Here are the results:

The boys were able to sweep both the doubles division and the singles division. Partners were Lane Mathues/Jose Guerrero, Austin Gibbs/Jordan Goodman, and Nathan Evans/Josh Muckleroy.

Boy singles were Bryce Loftin, Jose Guerrero, Lane Mathues, Gideon Rowe, Jordan Goodman, and Austin Gibbs.

We had two girls win their matches, Katie Hanks and Claire Fawcett.

Up next, the Pirates will be traveling to Crosby on Friday. Some of our Pirates will be taking the night off of tennis to participate in Friday Night Lights, so we will have some “newbies” stepping up and taking their place. This is a great opportunity for them! Can’t wait to see what they can do.

It’s a GREAT Day to be a Pirate!!!!!
