Story by Tennis Coach Chambers
     On Wednesday night at the Danner Park courts, the CHS Lady Hornets played MEC opponent Savannah High School where SHS led a dominant performance winning 7-2 over Chillicothe. Coach Chambers & Coach Pyrtle saw numerous stretches of high quality play from all levels of their team, but they were unable to close at several crucial moments that helped decide a handful of matches. The coaches saw lots of strengths to build upon but know their players also learned important early season lessons about clutch moments & mental fortitude that will help them later in post season play.
