The girls tennis team is off to a blistering start, going undefeated so far this season. They’re led in this endeavor by senior Parker Callahan, who has not only helped keep the team’s record perfect, but also make sure to hold herself to those standards. The perfect road has not been easy, as she showcased great mental fortitude to battle back for a 5 game comeback with teammate Paige Parsons (‘20). Parker looks to continue her excellence through the rest of the season and into playoffs.
