For the first time in school history, Del Rio’s tennis players were honored with all-district honors for their performance during the fall tennis season.
The move to create an all-district team was spearheaded by Del Rio tennis coach Nolan Pritchard, who said it was something his former school district did for its tennis players.
Del Rio had seven members of its girls team and four members of its boys team honored. In addition, five members of the tennis team were recognized as academic all-district selections.
