FINALLY. We are back and it feels so good. Thanks to Covid a year ago, we didn't get to enjoy another edition of Iowa High School Tennis 2020 style :( - Fast forward to present day and it is just about go time for the 2021 season. I could not be more excited to see everyone across the state back out competing. As you can imagine, it has been almost two full years since we had high school tennis, and also about two years since March Madness! Enjoy the rest of the tournament as the second weekend approaches. Back to tennis! I am going to do my best to provide a season preview and cover a few different things. Here we go!
