PLEASANT GROVE ALSO AFFECTED BY RAIN
ROCKWALL, Texas — Pleasant Grove’s varsity tennis program competed against stiff competition at the Rockwall Frozen Ball Tournament on Friday before rain wreaked havoc on play.
Along with Pleasant Grove and Texas High at the tournament were Highland Park, Lamar, Wylie East, Longview, Plano East, Richardson, Corsicana, Forney, Hallsville, Lindale, J.J. Pearce, Van, Melissa, Rockwall and Rockwall Heath.
“The weather did not cooperate and caused delays all morning,” Pleasant Grove tennis coach Erik Pickett said. “Once the courts dried and our Hawks got rolling, the weather striked again in the afternoon. Only a couple rounds played, it was unfortunate that we were not able to finish against a fierce list of competitors.
“This was the first year for our Hawks to compete in the Frozen Ball and a big opportunity for our players. We definitely had a good showing in the matches we were able to play.”
Pleasant Grove will travel to Tyler Legacy on Friday.
