Boys Tennis Falls To Albia

Knoxville boys tennis resumed its meet with Albia on Thursday at the Joel Tonda Tennis Courts and fell 9-0. Coach Kevin Wadle tells KNIA/KRLS Sports many of his guys are still learning the finer points of the game including making shots count…

Wadle: “So that’s the difficulty for Ezra, TaShawn and Jude is that they can get there, but squaring up the racket and that’s what we’re trying to learn.”
