LHS tennis sweeps home double-dual

Lawrence High’s tennis team swept Olathe South in singles and Shawnee Mission South in doubles and came away with a sweep of a double-dual Thursday at Lawrence Tennis Center.

The Lions beat O-South, 7-2, and SM South, 6-3

“I’m real excited,” LHS coach Steve Hudson said. “It’s one of the best nights I’ve had coaching tennis for sure. The girls were excited. And they all went down to 8-6, 8-5. The crowd was there. The bugs were there. There was excitement in the air.”

Morgan Manger, Julia Harris and Brittany Long each won both their singles matches for the Lions, and Jaimie Jarrett and Elizabeth Simons each had a hand in two doubles victories.
