Game, set, match. The Sparta High School Varsity Tennis Team has made its mark winning the State Regional Finals for the first time in 33 years.
“I am very proud of how hard the girls worked and how focused they remained despite the difficulties brought on by the COVID virus,” said coach Andrew Lowery. “The season had some turbulence (that’s for sure), but these girls are rock solid and always find a way to make something positive happen even when things look grim.”
In addition to their tennis prowess on the court, the players are all top-notch students.
“They know how to tackle anything life throws at them,” Lowery said. “I think they showed us all that although tennis is an individual sport, they still work best as a team.”
