Wildcats Final-Four Bound!
After driving 4 hours to Chillicothe, Missouri, the Wildcat tennis team went to warm up for their first round sectional match, only to face a morning thunderstorm this past Saturday.

The entire team has qualified for the state tennis tournament's team event, to be held this coming Thursday in Springfield, Missouri. Go Wildcats!
