The boys’ side gave up only 4 games between the four matches in doubles. In singles, wins were scored by Zach Henry, James Merchant, Ethan Marsh, Hyrum Blackwelder, Anthony Foti, Aldo Ibarra, Seth Blackwelder, Karissa Kuhl, and Addie Morris. Karissa Kuhl didn’t lose a game in singles and Anthony Foti didn’t lose a game in singles or doubles.  The overall score was 14-7 in the Vikings’ first win over the formidable Tyler All Saints team. The next High School Tennis match is this Saturday against Groesbeck High School Varsity in Groesbeck.
