We have made it to another school year, and that means another year of high school sports. Well, Iowa is trying to make the most of this fall after a pretty successful go around with Baseball and Softball in the summer. However, whatever happens as the school year gets kicked off isn't what we are focusing on today. As we said goodbye to the Class of 2020 a few months ago, and as hard as that was with how the spring turned out, we are excited for our new senior class! These newly minted seniors are going about their post-graduation exploration as best they can with our "new" circumstance surrounding Covid. Today, we look at some of the top Iowa tennis recruits in this class of 2021.
