Ava Carnes (Austin Poffenberger)

Playing for the first time since February 15, TFS tennis hosted Mt. Paran and earned another split. The Lady Indians won 5-0, while the Indians narrowly beat the defending state champs in a 3-2 loss.

“Great effort by the girls to get another win,” says coach Anthony Cox. “Boys were super close against a defending state champion, so this is something we can build on. Great win for Fabian and David at 2-doubles.”

Ariel Kelsick’s win at 1-singles gives her 22 singles wins for her career, surpassing Evette Corwin (’22) for the program record. The Lady Indians improve to 7-0, while the Indians are now 1-6.
