Local tennis teams to host AHS matches

After taking a week off for spring break, members of the Albany High School tennis team will be back in action on Wednesday, March 20, hosting a couple of other schools at the local courts starting at 2:00 p.m.

AHS athletes will then participate in the Abilene High School Invitational March 29-30.

The district meet is set for the following week on April 2-3 at Abilene’s Rose Park Tennis Center.
