Tri-Cities Tournament April 17-19
Number 1 and Number 2 singles played at Richland High School so Garret got to play at the same school as Niccolo.
After day 1 of round robin playing. Garret was 3-1.
Garret played in the championship game for #2 singles on Saturday. His coaches didn't make it to the match, so his teammates were cheering him on and giving him advise. Garret lost the match but still got 2nd place for #2 singles for the tournament.
The girls go to the Tri-Cities too for the tournament. All of the boys and girls tennis players giving a cheer.
