The new Texas Tennis Coaches Association state ranking are due to be released on Friday and by the way the Center Riders are playing, they're sure to be on the rise. The Riders blew past Spring Hill, 15-4, and Hallsville, 13-6, last Saturday to improve their season mark to a spotless 11-0 mark.
Center, which is ranked 13th in the state in last month's poll, have seen its stock rise with three wins since the last rankings.
The Riders swept girls' doubles and captured four out of six girls' singles matchups against Hallsville in the seven-point win. Against Spring Hill it was the boys who led the way, as the CHS male athletes swept boys and doubles action.
