The Harlan County boys claimed a 5-4 win and the girls played to a 4-4 tie in a tennis match Saturday at Letcher Central.

“This is our first non-regional matchup for our team in a few seasons. Letcher is at the top in their region, so for us to compete with another region at the level we did today proves how much better we have improved,” Harlan County coach Caleb Bailey said. “We had one of our girls out today and that hurt us in the girls matchup. We have to correct some simple mistakes that we are making and we will be where we need to be. Boys played a lot better today. Overall, this was a great day and great win for our programs.”
