Four Lions will try for titles this week at home
Goddard High School will host the 6A State tennis tournament this Friday and Saturday, with competitors from Kansas’ largest high schools converging for state’s ultimate prize.
Introductions of players will be at noon Friday at the USD 265 district tennis complex, located immediately south of Goddard High School. Following the ceremonies, play will begin at the district tennis complex and at the tennis courts at 301 S. Main in Goddard.
“Hosting the State Tennis Tournament is a great honor for Goddard School District,” said Curtis Conrad, Goddard High School Athletic Director. “We are pleased to have outstanding tennis facilities for this event.”
Four GHS players are hoping that the home court advantage will help them to State titles. Roman Nola and Matt VanHorn, both seniors, won the doubles championship at the Dodge City regional. The duo will be among the favorites. The seniors are 34-3 this season.
Danny Jones and Cole Marceau also qualified at Dodge City. Jones (29-9) placed second at the regional tournament, and Marceau (27-11) placed fourth. Both are juniors.
