UIL 4A Team Tennis Conference Bracket
Currently, only 16 teams remain in UIL’s 4A team tennis competition: Randall, Andrews, Shallowater, Wichita Falls, Academy, Hargrave, Center, Hamshire-Fannett, Panther Creek, Wills Point, Anna, Lindale, Boerne, Zapata, Wimberly and Uvalde.
Randall’s win over Vernon came a day late after the two teams weathered through rain delays yesterday. The two teams began competition in Lubbock and after getting rained out, both teams traveled to Plainview in hopes of finishing there. However, the rain hit Plainview forcing the teams to delay the remaining matches to today in Abilene.
The Raiders are coached by veteran Coach Darby Norman.
