SYLVANIA, Ala. — On Tuesday, Sylvania Varsity Tennis played their first sectional match of the season against Victory Christian Academy. The boys won 9-0 and the girls won 7-2. 

"This season has been hard getting into a groove with all the rain, but the kids have had a tremendous work ethic all year and want to continue to get better," said Head Coach Dustin Dalton. "They work harder than any group I have coached so far, and do a really good job at wanting to fix the little things in their game. Their attention to detail makes them so fun to coach!"

"Both teams goals are to make it to the state tournament. Our boys have made it past four years in a row, which has never happened before in the history of our program," Dalton continued. "The girls have not made it since the early 2000s, but we all feel like this year is going to change all that. We have a big group of seniors who have really built the foundation for our program for years to come, and they want to make sure they leave their mark this season."
