The Lady Tigers tennis team honored three seniors the best way they could Monday – with a sweep over Monett. Republic won all three doubles matches, then followed it up with wins in all six singles matches, to earn the victory.
Before the matches began, Republic honored seniors Brittany Thompson, Tayler Avery, and Kianna Kershner. Coach Eric Hanson says all three of them are program leaders by the way they go about their work on the court.
“They’re not the rah-rah type. The biggest thing you get out of this group of seniors is they come out here and work hard,” Hanson says. “For a younger player, when they can watch the #1 or the #6 or a high JV player working that hard every day, that sends a lot bigger message than… hyping them up and high fives and stuff like that, because they see it every day.”
