Top tennis players head to tourney
Players from Corpus Christi, Calallen and Portland will be among the field participating in this weekend's Whataburger High School Tennis Invitational tennis tournament, which will draw top players from around the state to the H-E-B Tennis Center.
Four of the state's top-ranked 4A schools and six of the top 5As will be attending, with 18 players ranked in the top 50 by the UTSA Texas Section ranking scale.
Southlake Carroll, ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, will be the top seeds in both boys and girls singles, and the No. 2 seed in boys doubles. Abilene, ranked No. 5 in 5A, also will field a strong team.
Other top teams participating are Houston Clear Lake and Humble. Carroll (fall district champion) is ranked No. 14 in 5A and lost to Clear Lake 10-8 and Humble 10-9 in close matches last fall. King will be led by D.J. Petros, seeded No. 4 in boys singles, and Alyssa Palacios, No. 3 in girls singles.
The 16-team field begins play this morning, with play going on at the tennis center (boys and girls doubles), Del Mar College (girls singles) and Ray High School (boys singles).
The USTA will hold a clinic on the tennis center's courts from noon to 2 p.m. for players between the ages of 10-18.
