With a total of 24 players, the James Madison High School Boys Tennis team is one of the largest in the region. And with Head Coach Glenn Adams entering his 10th season with the Warhawks, the team also has the longest tenured varsity tennis head coach in the Liberty District.

McLean and Madison were tied at one through four, but in the top of the fifth, McLean strung together four extra-base hits, including a two-run home run by junior Allison Wilhelm, to push the Highlanders ahead 5-1. McLean went on to win the Friday night game 5-2 to improve their record to 4-0.
