We have been checking with multiple sources and believe the last time we hosted a varsity tennis match on school grounds (Old Tennis Courts) was the mid-'70s (PCS Tennis Alumni feel free to provide additional information).
This would mean today's varsity tennis match with Livonia is the first time in approximately 50 years the varsity tennis team has played a home match on school grounds.
We would like to thank our community for our amazing tennis/pickleball courts, and bringing varsity tennis back to PCS.
