The boys varsity tennis team played in the division 3 tennis state tournament at West Ottawa High School on October 15. 14 seed St Joseph played 3 seed Detroit Country Day in the Round of 16. Unfortunately, they lost the match 1-7 with Tyler Romano being the only bear to win his set. “I have to fill in big spots next year,” Anirudh Ale, 9, said when asked what it feels like to be a freshman on such a talented team.
