Thrall team tennis serves up state

BELTON — The Thrall High School varsity team tennis squad competed March 8-9 at the state team tennis championships held in Belton and Temple.

Thrall played No. 2 seed Sonora High School in the first round and was defeated 7-0.

“We played with one varsity player in that first round due to the basketball playoffs,” Thrall Head Coach Brenda Graham said. “Our young players stepped up and got lots of experience this past weekend. I saw lots of growth in these young players. By day two, they became a lot more comfortable playing the upperclassmen. Many of our young players won their first varsity matches.”
