The Demopolis High School girls tennis team consists of Allie Busby, Anna Golden, Avery Schumacher, Abigail Hathcock, Bridget Cobb, Buckley Nettles, Cassidy Crawford, Ella Quarles, Molly Harrison, Sara Jordan and Taylor Langley. The team is coached by Meagan Gurley and Fleming Tartt.

The Demopolis High Schools girls tennis team is headed to the state tournament at the Mobile Tennis Center Monday after having finished second in the Section 4 draw at Briarwood Christian School last week.

Despite the team’s oldest player being a freshman, the Tigers took runner-up status amid a field that included Briarwood, Central-Tuscaloosa, Corner, Oak Grove, Pleasant Grove and Sipsey Valley.

Allie Busby (8th), Abbie Hathcock (8th), Molly Katherine Harrison (7th), Anna Kate Golden (8th), Ella Quarles (8th) and Buckley Nettles (7th) each competed in singles for Demopolis.

Nettles and Quarles each finished as runners up in their respected singles seeds. Harrison and Golden finished as runners up in the No. 2 seed doubles. Nettles and Quarles took runner-up in No. 3 seed doubles. Busby and Hathcock finished third in No. 1 seed doubles.
