Congratulations to Yucca Valley High School tennis player Katie Brattain for a perfect season and ending with the championship in singles. In doubles, congratulations to Mckenzi Monical and Rylie Rohr for placing second and Jade Arnhold and Orion Ricketts for taking fourth.
The standout for the Twentynine Palms High School Ladycats was Alexis Soster who ended up placing second in singles in a super tie-breaker. The match took almost four hours in 101-degree temperatures. Soster is the first person to make it to CIF in the past three years under Coach Bill Shay.
