Gregoire said he encourages the community to come out and support the high school tennis team.
“I just really think a lot of our kids are excited to have an opportunity to play a full season and then, you know, have the postseason opportunity and get back to a little bit more of a normal (season) because last year, we had kind of an abbreviated season. We didn’t get to do our district tournament stuff,” said Gregoire.
MLHS tennis next takes on Sunnyside High School on April 12 at Sunnyside.

The bill amends these circumstances to include when a drought advisory is in effect and when a drought emergency order is in effect.
