"We moved players around and in the largest tournament we attend, our No. 1 doubles of Aiden Stacey and Jacob Parks placed sixth," said Panther tennis coach Chris Manning. "They played well for the first time playing together. It was Aiden’s first time playing doubles since middle school. Our singles got a bit unlucky in their draw, but both played exceptional tennis.
