one of the most successful opening meets
we have had in a few

our athletes progress.”

Cougar tennis
drops two matches
By Stephen
Henderson
The Patrick County High School men’s
tennis team lost two
matches last week. The
Cougars fell to Bassett
9-0 and lost to Halifax
9-0. Both matches were
away since the PCHS
tennis courts were being
repaired last week.
“We really struggled
with unforced errors in
the Bassett match and
made things tougher
than they needed to
be,” Coach Andrew Terry said. “I though we
competed much better
against Halifax and really struck the ball a lot
better,” he added.
“It was good to see the
guys improve so much
from match to match
and hopefully they will
continue that trend
throughout the season,”
he said. “We had a great
practice Thursday and
are looking forward to
the three matches we
are slated for this week.”
