The tennis team has been hard at work since Aug. 10^th and they have started their district competition. Last week the players faced a really strong group from Seven Lakes. The final score was 3 to 16 but getting 3 wins against them was a great accomplishment. Sae Ho Chun, James Yang and Albert Chan were the players to win.

Yesterday, the group faced the #1 team in the district, Taylor and finished with a 4 to 15 score. Sae Ho won again in the #1 singles spot (which makes him undefeated in district play), James Yang again in the # 3 line and Rickey Huynh at # 6. Sae Ho and Rickey also won in #1 doubles.
