Wildcat team tennis Coach Tony Martinez is excited to begin district play this week.
Sulphur Springs hosts Atlanta on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at the Tennis Center.
Last week saw team tennis travel to Wills Point, a perennial state contender in tennis.
Against stout competition, Coach Martinez’s squad could only manage two wins against a dominant program.
Both the mixed doubles team and the #4 player for the Lady Cats, Jessie Lee, pulled off big upsets in Wills Point.
The girls’ doubles team of Mykylie Meador and Trinity Luckett played incredibly well against stiff competition but fell behind late in Wills Point, ultimately losing their match.
Coach Martinez hoped his team could have won five or six matches, but still was proud of his team’s efforts. The Sulphur Springs coach applauded the Wills Point coaching staff for running a tight ship, one that has routinely sent players off to DBU while also making the state tournament last year.
The team tennis coach says he is still tweaking combinations for mixed and girls’ doubles, and has a great match-up coming up to do just that.
He says a district contest versus Atlanta is a great opportunity to continue to work on who plays with who, while also giving an overall young team a nice first contest for district play.
That contest begins Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 4 P.M.
