Despite not having courts finished, and bad weather throughout the Winter, the JV tennis team has gotten off to a great begin to the season.

Now with home matches scheduled and being played at Mount Notre Dame, the season was ready.

The first match was scheduled against Kings, on Mon., Apr. 7, at home, but due to weather problems, the match was cancelled.

The second match was scheduled against Fairfield, on Tues., Apr. 8, at Fairfield. On all of the courts, the SHS tennis team had very good results, winning the match 5-0.
