TJ girls’ tennis has been having a successful season with the last two wins against West and Lincoln High School. So far the girls have an overall season score of 4-2 and are trying to keep the win’s stacking up.

West proved to be a match with difficulties when the weather changed suddenly from sun to snow, but the girls held on to their win. “It snowed last year during this match as well, and once again we were able to hold on to our victory,” said Senior Kiara Wright. TJ girls won that match with an impressive score of 7-0.

The week after that the team went to Lincoln High School, winning another match. The final score was 6-1. “The girls are strong and put up a good fight against the opposing team. I think that they have a good chance at winning the City League Championship,” said Head Coach Tim Cueva. “Since this year the boys brought back home the City League Title for the first time since the 80’s, I think the girls have a good shot at doing the same.”

This week the girls are going up against George Washington High School on Tuesday April 12th at GW, and Thursday April 14th they will be playing East, at TJ. The girls are also having a tournament this Friday at TJ all day long, so make sure to stop by and support the girls on the courts.
