The Pierre Governor tennis team will be right in the middle in terms of bringing back experience and having fresh faces have its first varsity looks as the tennis season is just about to get underway.
Last year, the Governors had Bailey Jessen and Ella Fisk both compete and are the two seniors on this year’s team. Adrian Hand, who is now a freshman is the highest singles competitor returning. Hand went 0-2 at the Class A state tournament in flight three. Jessen, in flight four would finish in fifth place last season while junior Breanna Tedrow would place third in flight five. Elise Bowers also returns as a freshman this year having teamed with Jessen in doubles flight one. Megan Bauck, head coach of the Governors says she’s very optimistic about the season…
