The Wheelersburg tennis team took two matches from Waverly on Monday evening, 3-2, and 3-2. With the two wins against the Tigers, the Pirates clinched the SOC II title for the second consecutive year.
“I knew we had a good team this year, but I had no idea we would win the SOC (II) for the second straight year,” Wheelersburg tennis coach Tom Carter said.
The Pirates have had a lot of success on the tennis court this year, including a singles competitor and a doubles team who have gone all season without being defeated.
Drew Jackson (singles), along with Ben Allen and Zack Jordan (doubles) have not lost a match all season.
