Daingerfield athletes participate in Booster Club Tennis Tournament

The Daingerfield tennis team participated in the Hughes Springs Athletic Booster Club Tennis Tournament on March 8.
After battling all day, seniors Zac Ferris and Braccus Hannah met in the Consolation Championship Match.  Ferris started the day with a hard fought 5–8 loss to Jack McDowell of Prairiland, followed by three straight wins (Josh Adams of Avinger 8–2, John Harris of Redwater 8–4, Chris Fuller of Linden-Kildare 8-7) before meeting teammate Hannah in the finale.
Hannah’s day went much like his teammate’s, starting with a 4–8 loss to older brother Gary McDowell of Prairiland and then a bye, followed by two 8–0 wins against Steve Roberts (Avery) and Seth Bennett (Redwater).
The stage was set for an all Daingerfield finale, with Ferris coming out on top 8–3.
“It was great to see Zac and Braccus have success after getting off to a little bit of a slow start,” Coach Jana McGoldrick said. “It was a long day that started at 8 a.m., and then the final did not even start until about 10 p.m. It was worth the long hours to see these two nice young men battle it out in the finale.”
Other players participating in the tournament were Randi Monds and Sam Rowe in girls’ singles, Akia Williams and Anjelica Reyes in girls’ doubles, and Kimmie Brown and Chris Rios in mixed doubles.
