From Coach Giles: “The team had another successful season again playing one of the toughest schedules in the state. The boys ended the season with a winning record and won the City championship. All of the guys showed improvement throughout the season and were playing their best tennis at the end of the season. We started the year playing seven different line-ups in the first seven matches due to players being out sick or due to injuries. Finally, I am most proud of the varsity team for earning a combined average GPA of 3.95.”
