Lady Cycs progressing in return season
For a program that was dormant for more than a decade, the Community Christian girls tennis team isn’t worried about wins and losses right now, although there are more of the latter than the former.
The Lady Cyclones dropped to 0-3 on the season with a 9-0 defeat at Rocky Mount Academy on Monday. CCS, which plays its home matches at Barton College Tennis Complex, lost its season opener Tuesday, Aug. 21, by a 6-3 margin at Christ Covenant in Winterville. Picking up singles wins for the Lady Cyclones were Lexi Gardner and Olivia Walker before teaming to triumph at No. 2 doubles.
CCS was then swept by Faith Christian of Rocky Mount on Thursday, Aug. 23, at Barton.
Still, head coach Josh Harris is pleased with his team’s progress, considering none of his players had any experience in the sport.
“None of them had picked up a racquet until June 2018, so they’ve completely progressed,” he said.
The Lady Cyclones go at it again Tuesday when they visit The Oakwood School in Greenville.
