The Redhawks’ spring season came to a close for a majority of the team on Thursday at the District 9-5A tournament at Marcus High School with the boys’ doubles team of junior Sarvesh Ramachandran and sophomore Yatin Pokle advancing to the regional tournament April 17-18 at Allen High School.

For seniors, the district tournament marked the last time they would compete as a Redhawk.

“It was honestly a very emotional experience at districts,” senior Sydney Graff said. “There were many tears shed with my partner, especially since the reason we became friends in the first place was because of tennis and being on the team together.”

Skills and strategies were not the only lessons learned on the court, according to senior Alex Lopez.

“Being on the team has not only taught me to improve my skills for playing, but as a person as well,” he said. “It’s taught me to be persistent and to put everything I got into what I’m doing.”
