The Tigers meet up with Jersey at home this afternoon. Jersey and Edwardsville will wear red shirts today in remembrance of Alton High tennis coach Robert Logan, who died this week.

“I think we continue to improve and get better,” Coach Dave Lipe said after Edwardsville’s matches. “We get a little better every week. Our girls are very close and like spending time with each other no petty rivalries. We have a really solid team and they are fun to coach.”

Lipe said the following Tuesday, Sept. 27, will be a key Southwestern Conference match at home against O’Fallon.

"The match with O’Fallon will be very close and competitive,” he said.
