Throughout the year, the Hemlock Girls Tennis team dominated dual play and emerged as champions of the TVC Tournament and regular season. Their success continued as they captured the regional championship, showcasing their exceptional talent and hard work on the court.
A significant highlight of this season is the exceptional performance of all four singles players, who were named first team all-conference.
