Spring tennis has officially wrapped up for Devine, as Jeremy Steinbrunner took a tough loss in the second round, 6-2, 6-0, of the regional tournament. Steinbrunner won his first match handily, winning 6-0,6-0 against Evan Hamilton, Eastside Early College Prep. His loss in the second round came from “a very good player” Miguel Mejia from Valley View, the fourth seed, who would go on to the finals. Head coach Kandi Darnell said Steinbunner had a good spring season and was proud of the performance he put on at the tournament.
“[Steinbrunner] had three first place finishes  and four second finishes this season,” Darnell said. “He represented DHS tennis well. Our competition at 4A was toughest which made for some great tennis.”
Congratulations to Jeremy and his incredible season!
