Summertown’s Ella Konig and Gracie Kelly were recognized as members of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association’s all-state tennis teams as those athletes were honored this week.
The twosome won the Division I Small Class doubles state championship during Spring Fling in May, defeating Madison Academic’s Mitzi Castro and Sarah Wilson in straight sets for the title.
Konig and Kelly helped extend a successful run for the Lady Eagles program, which includes a state runner-up finish in the team competition this spring and a championship performance in 2019 along with a doubles title by Alexis Perry and Haley Caperton.
