Jr. high district tennis tournament set May 4-5

By Sam Waller

Albany’s junior high tennis program wraps up its season this week with the district tournament at Abilene’s Rose Park Tennis Center.

Boys will play Thursday, May 4 (today), with girls playing Friday, May 5.

Coach M.J. Reneau said Albany’s 19 players will mostly play doubles.

“We’ll have a few boys singles, but it’s mostly doubles,” she said.

Forced to work around the demands of the high school season, which saw Albany advance four entries to the Class 2A state tournament, the junior high players were limited to just an intrasquad tournament last week after an expected dual with Winters fell through.

“We’ve been practicing as much as we can,” Reneau said.
