Great Mills tennis topples Lackey
During a spring season that has been hindered with a bevy of interruptions due to inclement weather, the Great Mill High School tennis team made quick work of visiting Lackey on Tuesday afternoon as the Hornets defeated the Chargers 7-2 in the overall match played amid ideal conditions. Ironically, in matches that began at the identical time on adjacent courts, the boys’ number one singles and girls’ number one singles matches virtually ended in different time zones. Great Mills junior Mark Hoffman defeated Lackey’s Brandon...
