History made for TFS tennis in 4-1 victories over Jefferson

Ariel Kelsick (Austin Poffenberger)

Playing on the road against Jefferson, the Lady Indians and Indians put their unbeaten seasons on the line. In typical fashion, both the boys and girls dominated to the tune of 4-1 wins to win their 10th straight matches.

“It was a really good tuneup before our last regular season region match,” says coach Anthony Cox. “I feel like we’re getting a little better every practice, every match.”

Both teams move to 10-0 on the season ahead of next week’s regular season finale and senior night match against Rabun County. The Lady Indians tied the single-season program record with their 10th win, matching the 2021 season. The Indians notched the program’s third-ever 10-plus win season and the most since the record 14 set in 2013.
