The Tigers faced the Cockrill Cowboys. The team won more matches against Cockrill than they had before. Cole Antosca and Aaron Robinson won for the male doubles.
Juniper Osborn and Hope Howell won for the girls doubles. Both teams of mixed doubles won, which were Sydney Sullivan, Billy Bryson, Kayla Brannon and Elliot Sankus. Our singles winners were Hayden Richardson and Jasmine Harvey. There were many close games and significant improvement in many players. We had a few players play singles that had not played singles before and some that played doubles with partners they had not played with yet. It was great to see everyone step up and get excited about their abilities as well as see their improvements. The Tigers face Faubion at McKinney North next Tuesday. Tigers vs. Prosper Reynolds Great games for the Tigers against Prosper on March 20. Chase Richardson and Tate Williamson conquered their opponent in boys doubles. Aaron Palos and Hayden Richardson beat their opponents in boys singles. Rounding out the wins was Mary Jordan and Elliott Sankus in mixed doubles. There were many close games. Several at 5-7, couple of tie breakers and more that traded point for point. The Tigers gave the Eagles some strong competition. The team is looking forward to a week of practice with no matches to fine tune some skills and become even better!
