TENNIS TEAM MOVING ON!!
The Lions knocked off Kirbyville, 8-0, in the second round of the Texas Tennis Coaches Association Class 3A & Under Team Tennis State Tournament to advance to the semifinals. Vernon will face Academy in the semifinals. Academy defeated Wall, 5-2, in their second round match. The semifinals were originally scheduled for Saturday morning, with the championship match set for Saturday afternoon. However, due to the threat of rain tournament officials decided to start the tournament using a rain format and pushed the semifinal round to this afternoon, with the championship match set for Saturday morning. In the rain format, only 9 matches are played (instead of the normal 19) with the first team to win 5 matches (instead of the normal 10) declared the winner. GOOD LUCK LIONS!!!
