"The scores don't show the tough fight our Tiger tennis team put up against Bishop Kelly," said Coach Tamzy House. "A large number of our players are new to tennis and still working on mastering the fundamental strokes. They hung tough and made the Knights earn every point. I'm very proud of the team."

The Tigers were at Emmett Monday for a conference match, and travel to Burley on Saturday for a non-conference match.
