The tennis court witnessed a raid against the Cedar Ridge Raiders as they echoed the powerful swings of rackets and shouts of pride from the Mavs.
A sense of unity and accomplishment lingered in the air among the varsity team’s 10-3 win to clinch third in the district tournament. The Mavs faced off against Bowie High School in the Bi-District match Oct. 16.
“Something we changed during this match was our team spirit,” senior Anne Cao said. “We cheered each other on when a team member made a good effort and we watched each other’s matches.”
The team ranked fourth in the district last year.
“We are so proud of placing third in districts,” Cao said. “Especially during the fall, the season is geared towards tennis, so there’s certainly a sense that we all achieved this together.”
