The RHS Tennis team competed in the Fair Oaks team tournament on Friday. After an easy first round win over private school Fairhill, the team came up against fall district champion Naaman Forest in the second round. The match went back and forth, but in the end, RHS claimed the victory 5 matches to 3. In the finals, the Eagles faced Garland High. Again, both teams played hard, and in the end, the match score was 4 to 4. The first tie-breaker was sets, which were even at 8 to 8, and the second tie-breaker came down to overall games won, which Garland won 61-57. So in a narrow defeat, the team brought home the second place overall trophy.

Congrats to the team as they keep their strong season and trophy streak alive!
