Losing the district tennis championship to Independence in 2017, the Redhawks were hoping for a little revenge at home on Tuesday, but the Knights came out on top 10-9
“We fought hard,” sophomore Kayla Baker said. “But in the end we barely lost 10-9. It was really disappointing for the team, but we will keep working hard and hopefully get a win this Friday.”
On the other side of the net, the Knights knew it would be a challenge to beat the Redhawks.
“So we knew it would be a tough match, so we worked on techniques and stamina for a long time in preparation and in the end we did good,” Independence sophomore Vinanti Vemulapalli said. “It was a tight and close match and it was 9 all and then finally one of our guys pulled through and we won 10-9.”
