Junior Ceniceros and Chance Lockhart were named the champions at the District tennis tournament in Wellington last week. The win gave the doubles
team the opportunity to advance to the Regional Tournament April 20-21 in Odessa. The team were awarded a bye in the first round and won their second round match against Quanah’s number two team at 6-1, 6-0. They then defeated Wheeler’s number one team 6-0, 6-3 in the finals.
“They are the Boys Doubles District Champs,” coach Brandt Lockhart said. “Junior and Chance were dominating all day long and played their best tennis of the year.”
Zack LaRoe and Nick Shadle won their first match 4-6, 6-1, and 7-5 against Quanah’s number two team, but then lost in the semi finals to the Wheeler number one team 2-6, 6-2, and 3-6. The duo then defeated Quanah’s number two team 6-2, 6-2 to win third place.
“The boys team are district champions,” Lockhart said. “Zack and Nick played very well and with a few different shots were very close to making the finals.”
On the Lady Bronco side, the team of Kendra Davis and Sterling King lost their match 4-6 and 3-6 to Wheeler. “I felt like they improved throughout the year,” Lockhart said.
