Jesuit tennis wrapped a convincingly dominant fall campaign with its fourth consecutive sweep of a district foe, blanking Richardson, 9-0, in varsity action on Tuesday at Richardson H.S. Ending the fall season with a 6-1 overall record and 5-0 mark against district opponents, the Blue and Gold has staked their claim for the district crown this fall following an eyebrow-raising fall.

Freshman
Alex Park led the charge, battling back from a first set loss to pick up a 4-6, 6-1, 10-6 win at top-flight singles before tacking on a 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 1 singles with teammate
Zach Whittington. Park is 2-0 at top-flight singles this year and concludes the fall unbeaten in singles and doubles. Whittington added a 6-1, 6-1 win at second-flight singles to end his fall with a 3-0 singles record, all three of which came at either first- or second-flight.
