The Harlan County girls edged visiting Clay County 5-4 while the HCHS boys fell 9-0 in tennis action Monday.
“It was a nice win for the girls tonight. I expected coming in that Clay would come in fighting harder to try to pull the win off. Luckily, we pulled the win out and faced the adversity,” Harlan County coach Caleb Bailey said. “Our boys played out of lineup tonight, so each player from two down bumped up one level in competition and faced a challenge. I was proud of the effort they showed even in defeat. They were contending in points. The effort is all I can ask for and much experience is gained for our players.”
