Chilton County’s boys and girls tennis teams will compete in sectional matches this week at Walker High School.

The CCHS boys will compete Wednesday, and the girls will compete on Thursday.

The top two teams from each of the sectional tournaments will advance to the state tournament in Mobile.

Other teams in Chilton’s section include Walker, Demopolis, Paul Bryant, Central-Tuscaloosa, Pleasant Grove (girls only), Ramsay and McAdory.

Both squads lost four of their seven players from last season to graduation. The boys team had three players returning, and the girls had only two.

Coach Pamela Bearden said the improvement of the teams’ rookie players has led to wins on the court.
