TEXARKANA, Ark. — Arkansas High tennis players had success during Thursday’s tri-meet at home.

Arkansas High hosted Hope and Maumelle, with a number of players pulling out multiple victories on the day. In the end, the AHS boys JV team tied with Hope and Maumelle, while the Lady Backs defeated Hope and Maumelle.

Head coach Mason McCloud said the matchups were a friendly opportunity where each coach can try some different things.

“This was a very friendly matchup. We as coaches can mix and match our lineups a little more than normal since it is nonconference, so that kids are matched up really well. It makes for a great day of competition,” McCloud said.

McCloud was also happy with how the youth within the program stepped up.
