Tennis Team Finishes 4th at States
The tennis team finished 4th at this year’s NCISAA 2A Tennis Championships. The Cats traveled to Wilmington, NC to defend their 2A title. Repeating is difficult and the Cats knew this going in…they would have to play their best in order to compete for the title.
After the first day, the Cats were right in it. 5 of 6 Cats advanced in singles while 1 of 3 Cat teams advanced on the doubles side.
The second day brought more sun and more good tennis. The second round sees 3 of 5 Cats advancing in singles. Unfortunately, our doubles team falls.
The third day brought sun and the realization the Cats would not repaet as 2A Champs. Some teams would have packed it in, but not the Cats. Our three singles players hit the court and left all they had on it: 2 of 3 Cats advance to the finals!
In the finals, our two seniors, Andrew Shea and Aaron Saenger, played their best, but fell short.
The Cats failed to repeat, but finished 4th overall. The team had a great year and continued a tradition of excellence. Congrats to the team and to Coach Southern.
