The District 9-6A tennis team title was on the line last Friday between Wylie and Wylie East, and for the second year in a row, the Pirates defeated the Raiders.
Although Wylie East got victories from its No. 2 singles and No. 3 boys doubles lines, Wylie proved too much as the Pirates cruised to a 13-2 victory from Wylie East. It was the seventh consecutive district title won by Wylie. The Pirates finish as the top seed in District 9-6A, while the Raiders are the runner-up.
Wylie East will play Rockwall in a rematch of last year’s bi-district playoff bout, won by the Lady Raiders, at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the Wilkerson Sanders Tennis Complex in Rockwall. Wylie will host Rockwall-Heath that same day at 2 p.m. at Wylie High School.
