Grovetown tennis team becomes No. 1 in region play

GROVETOWN, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - It’s a sport we’re not really known for here in the CSRA, but our local area teams are currently changing that.

Tennis – South Aiken, Lakeside and Aquinas all have a reputation in the sport, and now Grovetown is entering the conversation.

The Warriors are chasing a program first. They’ve never won a region championship because they’ve never had the team to do it, until this year.

Marine Legentile plays golf for the Jaguars women’s team and she’s doing so with only one good eye.

The program is undefeated and now enters the GHSA 6-A Region 4 Tournament as the number one seed.

They’re typically at the bottom of the region and if they bring home the region title, they’ll be able to host the first round of state.

A complete turnaround for the program.

“I feel like we’ve been disrespected in the past, to be honest with you,” said Patrick Gregory, #1 singles senior. “I feel like we’ve been to state every year and we don’t get recognition for that. I feel like if we win this region championship, we’ll finally have some hardware to go back up what we’ve been doing all season and been doing for the last three, four years.”
