From Coach Brent Landrum:
The loss to Kinkaid was tough to take. The boys played extremely well. We made one too many errors. The silver lining is that we can compete with anybody we step on the field with. It was a great game to watch if you were just a fan. I was really proud of the way the boys came back on Saturday and competed to beat Northland Christian. This coming week will be very important to our SPC South Zone record. The two games next weekend in Austin are critical.

3/21 at St. John’s*

3/25 vs St. Mark’s (boys only)
boys’ team • 5-2 WIN

From Coach Jill DelRio:
The boys' team is off to a great start they have had challenging matches with some losses and some wins but what stands out is the level of play this team is producing. It has been many seasons since we have had the skill level this team has, all the way through the team from number one to number 10, all players are highly skilled and the matches they have been playing are phenomenal. This year’s team does not give up and does not give away any easy points. They came close to beating St. John’s School, winning the most matches than we ever had against them, and then beat a really impressive team from Dallas, St. Mark’s School of Texas. I look for good results for the team for the rest of the season.

Next up for the Dragons:

March 31 vs. St. Andrew’s*, 5 p.m. Senior Night
April 1 vs. St. Stephen’s*, 11 a.m.
