With a mix of fantastic senior leadership and talented youth, the boys varsity tennis team avenged a disastrous 2004 season.  Finishing 7-3 in the conference pushed the team back into contention.  We will miss the efforts of our seniors and hope that our younger players understand the class with which these boys have competed.  We wish all spring teams competing the best of luck.
