Although Lehman entered the San Marcos Team Tennis Tournament with hopes of staying close to home, inclement weather forced the team to travel to Schertz Clemens and Converse Judson to compete Thursday.
The Lobos did not disappoint, losing to an over-matched Clemens team, but beating a polished Judson team to move to 2-2 on the season.
The Lobos began the day in Schertz where they challenged a litany of strong tennis players whose experience proved too much for the Lobos to handle.
Despite losing 10-0, the match was a learning experience for the team, as they improved their play on the court.
After a short break, the Lobos traveled to Converse and upended the Judson Rockets 10-2.
Lehman got off to a quick start, winning three of their four doubles matches before an hour-long rain delay.
They returned from the delay winning another doubles match and all six boys singles matches.
Due to the impending Hurricane Harvey, the second half of the tournament was canceled. The Lobos finished in the consolation bracket of tournament play.
Highlighting the day were juniors Ana Heysquierdo and Angela Martinez, who lost to an experienced pair of Clemens girls 2-6, 0-6 Thursday morning.
While they took the loss, the two carried momentum into a match played at Judson.
Martinez’s confidence grew throughout the match as she attacked the net, gaining several volley winners in the process. They never gave up and won both sets in a tiebreak 7-6 (9-7), 7-6 (7-2).
The Lehman varsity tennis team travels to Seguin Thursday to face the Matadors.
