The Lady Leopard netters made a huge accomplishment this season, returning to the state playoffs after over a five-year absence.

The ladies ended their season against Pepperell in Lindale last Wednesday in the first round of the playoffs. Pepperell defeated the Lady Leopards 3-2, but coach Lisa Thomas was still pleased with the performance of her team.

“Each girl played her best and being able to go to the first round of the state playoffs was a huge accomplishment for each of the girls,” Thomas said. “I know this is just the beginning of our success as a team and we are already looking forward to next year's season.”

Number one singles Kara Murphy won 6-2, 6-0.

Brittany Cook and Megan Whitey won their doubles match 7-6, 7-6 taking each set into tiebreakers.

Banks will see the majority of this season’s team return next season on the return to the playoffs.
