A good return from spring break for the LHS Tennis Team with two district matches against Haywood County and Dyer County. Some of the final matches got to play under the new lights right at sunset against Dyer County Thursday. The girls picked up wins against both opponents with a strong showing against a competitive Dyer County. The girls' team now has a 5-0 record in district with an overall record of 5-2. The boys picked up a win against Haywood but suffered their first loss to a very tough Dyer County. The boys' team now has a district record of 4-1 with an overall record of 6-1. Monday, March 31, 2025, the team will travel to South Gibson, another strong district opponent. We are so proud of how our teams are competing and representing our school. GO BIG RED!!!
