The tennis team defeated Mount Pleasant in their district opener last Tuesday at Tiger Tennis Center. Junior Kyle Kennedy and sophomore Baylee McBride both came away with 6-0, 6-0 in the singles matches.“I feel like I played extremely well for our first district match,” McBride said. “I was consistent with my shots and was pleased with the score considering I played number 3.”Earlier in the month, the team went up against a 5A school, losing 10-4 in their first match.

Senior Caroline Smith came back with a win against Coppell with her doubles partner sophomore Baylee McBride.

“I feel like I played really well,” Smith said. “Baylee and I finally got it together because we didn’t play very well Friday. Overall, I played really good.”

Losing to a 5A school did not discourage junior Kyle Kennedy.

“The team did well, second place was fine,” Kennedy said. “The other team was a lot deeper and we got hurt in the bottom of the lineup.”

Freshman Anna Catherine Boudreaux said that tournament was a positive experience.

“I was a little nervous but overall more excited,” Boudreaux said. “They have a lot more competition.”

Texas High fought until the end, but ended up placing second with Coppell finishing first. After a long day of perseverance, the Tigers stayed positive in the loss.

“We gave it our all and that’s all that matters,” Boudreaux said.
