The Girls Team
Sisters, Kennedy and Madison Phillips will make up the #1 doubles team this season, as Kennedy was just one match away from advancing to state last year teamed up with Edith Dominguez, who graduated. Look for Madison to slide into that role and those two should make a run towards a State appearance. Mycah Bradley and Lydia Bobo, Jamie Young and Grace Easterling will all be some names to watch out for this season for the Lady Cats Tennis squad.
The Guys Squad
Erik Salazar will look to be a name to keep up with this season for the boys team, as he continues to improve. James Artis is also another guy to look out for. Sophomores Riley Bramlett and Davis Johnson have both improved and will possibly be a good doubles team this year. “I’m excited about the growth of the four guys, they have bought into our program,” Coach Gerald Bennett said at media days when talking about the guys tennis roster.
