2021 Blog Awards

Another great high school tennis season is in the books for the State of Iowa. New State Champions were crowned, and we made it through the season with little to no covid issues! As we come to a close, here at the blog I wanted to get awards out this year including 1st/2nd team all-state selections, freshman of the year, senior of the year and coach of the year. All of the 1A/2A Boys/Girls will be listed below and you can also see the tweets with the pictures of selections posted. This is by no means state official, but here is the 2nd edition of the Iowa HS Tennis Blog Awards!
