The Pittston Area girls tennis team will be made up primarily of seniors this season.

The nine players on the roster include six returning seniors, plus there is another senior among the team’s three newcomers.

“We have such a great team this season, mostly comprised of seniors, that I’m sure will work their hardest to secure wins this season,” Lady Patriots coach Tate Jackson said. “I look forward to the competition and whatever the season may bring.

“Each player brings their own strengths to the team and a sense of camaraderie that I’m excited to see what happens throughout the season.”
