Mustangs Debut at No. 5
The
Pearce Mustangs debuted at No. 5 in the initial 2008
State High School Tennis Rankings last week. The
Mustangs are off to a strong 6-1 start in the fall
season and look forward to tough district opening
match with rival, No. 1 ranked Highland Park on Sept
16th, 4 pm at Pearce.
In
action last week, Pearce took on cross town rival
Richardson High and soundly took care of business by
whipping the Eagles 19-0. A solid performance by
the Men’s Doubles Team of Matt Steiss and Jeffrey
Stulmaker turned out to be the best match of the day
ending in a 7-5 tie break win.
Last Friday, the Varsity traveled to Lake Highlands
where the Mustangs thumped the Wildcats 18-1 in
non-district action.
Don’t forget to come out on the 16th,
root for the Mustangs and see two of the top teams
in the state clash on the court.
