On Thursday, March 31, the Willow Springs Bears tennis team defeated the Salem Tigers with a score of 6-3. Coach Spence said, “It was nice to get our opening win and break the ice a little bit. Salem is a team that has given us problems in the past, and they’ve got a strong top four. Hopefully, we’ll have some momentum going into the busy part of the season. There’s certainly room for improvement in our game.”
