GLEN ROSE – The Brownwood High tennis team opened the District 6-4A portion of their fall slate with a resounding 16-3 road victory over Glen Rose Tuesday afternoon.

“We had some kids playing in some spots they haven’t played due to having two of our players out,” said Brownwood High tennis head coach Crystal Blazek. “It was extremely hot today and I thought our kids handled the heat much better than our opponents. It’s the first district win, and I thought we played pretty well.”

The Lions and Lady Lions swept their doubles matches, both posting 3-0 records.
