Monday the THS Tennis Team competed in area tournaments at Darlington School. Both the boys and girls will advance to state. The girl’s team placed second with a miniscule loss to Gordon Lee.

The teams first played Monday morning in the preliminary rounds. They randomly drew to see who they would play in pro-8 sets. The outcomes of the matches would determine the seeding for the tournament. The boys’ team defeated Woody Gap with a 4-1 score, earning them the first place spot, an automatic state qualification and a first round bye. The girl’s matches however were much more intense with a close 3-2 win, which placed them 4th, right in the middle of the pack.
