Dragon Tennis continues to dominate the competition. Last week, the team defeated Timber Creek to win their 10th consecutive district title, head coach Corey Aldridge says.
"To win another District title is exciting as it’s always one of our goals to achieve each year," Corey says. "With more and more talent developing in our area, we are blessed to have the work ethic and resources available to develop our kids the right way."
With their latest win against Fossil Ridge on Tuesday, the Southlake Carroll Dragons are currently 9-1, with their only loss coming against Allen. This is Carroll's first district title win of the year.
"Timber Creek was talented and pushed us on the girls doubles side, but once we put our singles matches on court, it was smooth sailing," Corey says. "We are fortunate to have experienced players who put in time and work outside of our practices."
The district title notwithstanding, the tennis team already had reason to celebrate. Tuesday night was Senior Night, with the team honoring the players set to graduate this year.
"Senior Night is always special. We host a brief ceremony before our match where we recognize our seniors and their parents contributions to our program," Corey says. "We honored 9 seniors this year and all 9 were selected as Academic ALL STATE selections, so that’s super special."
Next on the schedule for Dragon Tennis is their final regular season match on Friday against Plano West, with the postseason beginning on October 26.
