The junior varsity and varsity Lobo tennis teams traveled to San Marcos in February and came away with ten total medals scored over a two-day period. The Lobo junior varsity team scored six medals, including two for freshmen Tegan Sullins and Connor Webster. The pair reeled off four more match wins and their third straight boys doubles tournament win.
Senior Andrew Guadarrama and sophomore Savannah Gardner fought hard in their mixed doubles draw for a 3rd place finish. And after losing their first match of the day, sophomores Nailea Udave and Danna Hernandez won 3 straight to win the consolation ladder in mixed doubles.
Lehman’s varsity team earned four medals. Sophomore Diego De La Fuente won his second tournament of the season, losing only one game the entire day en route to a boys singles victory.
Junior Alex Rivera earned a hard-fought second place in girls singles. In the quarterfinals, Rivera dropped the first set 2-6 before fighting back to win the second set 6-3 and the third set super tiebreaker 10-6. Rivera won her semifinal match against an opponent from Hays High.
Senior Brianna Salas and junior Raven Hamilton won three straight matches to enter the finals in girls doubles against a stout Wimberley team. The two teams were evenly matched, but Salas and Hamilton stood strong, winning a first set tiebreak 7-5. The duo seemed to frustrate the Wimberley team in the second set, and at a crucial moment in the match, Salas hit an amazing volley-winner at deuce to take a 5-2 game advantage that proved to be the nail in the coffin. Salas and Hamiilton closed the match out in the next game to earn their first tournament win of the season.
