Clear Springs defended its Remembering Ike Team Tennis Classic Burnt Orange Division championship with an impressive 10-5 finals victory over No. 2-seeded Alvin Shadow Creek on Saturday. The top-seeded Chargers even did so without their No. 1 boy player, Roshin Kamath, who had to sit out the match because of illness. Over in the White Division, Ball High, Dickinson and Texas City finished fourth, fifth and eighth, respectively. The Tors, playing a depleted lineup, fell victim to Willis (15-4) and Nederland (11-6). Leading the Tors was Serenity Dawson in the No. 6 girls’ singles position, where she went 2-0 in the two losses.

“We are pretty familiar with Willis and Nederland since we’ve seen them a few times in the last couple of years,” Ball High head coach Kyle Fisher said. “They always have strong teams, and this year was no exception. We are very proud how well our kids played, especially after having to play up as much as three lines because of absent teammates.”
