Congratulations to Chantal Lozano and Monika Cantu Esparza who were District Champions and Regional Semifinalists in the Girl’s Doubles, as well as Roel Loera and Joel Flores who were District Champions and Regional Quarterifinalists in Boy’s Doubles. Raul Ramirez and Marc Siller ranked 3rd in the doubles at the District Tourney and Eloy Canales and Adrian Gonzalez took home the District Championship in 9th grade doubles! “Spring tennis is hard work not only because it is a very physical sport requiring full body work, running, jumping, and constant drilling – the weather is unpredictable and the heat can be harsh. There is no working inside. We push outside in the heat and it is hard and continual, and I couldn’t be more proud of these kids,” express Coach Eddie Marquez. “They all had great matches throughout the season and they are going up against kids across the Valley that have access to private lessons and some indoor facilities now that we do not. We have always had a strong Tennis Program at Roma High and I’m very proud of our record and what we are accomplishing.
