Tennis state championship belongs to Rebels

It came down to the final match, and the Vestavia Hills girls tennis team did just enough to edge Mountain Brook, 42-40, to win the Class 7A state tennis championship.

The Rebels got a total of four state championships in the singles and doubles portions. Georgia Morros won the title at No. 3 singles, and Maggie Nelson defeated Mountain Brook's Morgan Jenkins in the No. 5 final, a big victory considering the final score. Harper Anderson took home the honor in No. 6 singles.

No. 1 Haley Harmon fell to eventual winner Margaret Polk, also from Mountain Brook, in the semifinals. Rebecca Pearlman reached the final in No. 4 singles.

Morros and Maggie Nelson won the doubles championship in No. 3 doubles, while Harmon and Hannah Nelson lost in the No. 1 finals.
