AHSAA tennis: UMS-Wright girls win 4A/5A; matches continue Saturday

UMS-Wright won the Class 4A/5A girls tennis title on Friday despite the fact that the tournament won’t conclude until Saturday due to the long delay on Thursday’s opening day of the Alabama High School Athletic Association State Tennis Championships.

UMS-Wright clinched the crown – its 16th – with 76 points and Donoho finished second with 43 at Mobile’s Tennis Center.
