GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "We were blessed to get a split today," said James Gleghorn, Head Tennis Coach. "This was the worst we have played all year, and it was a struggle all day. We fought and found a way in the afternoon. We praised God twice today after the matches. We talked about acknowledging Him win or lose, and how to be grateful in all circumstances."

 

LOOKING FORWARD

 

• The Wildcats will play Oakland City on Tuesday on the road at 3:00 p.m.
