The Lady Tigers tennis team won its own Republic Invitational Friday, winning three of the four brackets in a field that also included Springfield Catholic, Rogersville, and Forsyth. It’s the first time in program history the Lady Tigers have won their home tournament.
Elsie Crawford won the top singles flight, and Abby McCord and Morgan Lewis teamed up to win the top doubles flight. The #2 doubles flight went to Mia Stan and Ashlyn Leonard. Jasmine Howard finished second in the #2 singles bracket.
Republic’s first-place finish was a follow-up to a week of in-conference victories for the Lady Tigers, who had already beaten Willard, Nixa, and Joplin over the last few days.
