Dexter walked off the bus on Tuesday and were greeted by sunshine, a strong breeze and a very good Pioneer boys’ tennis team. The Pioneers, who finished fifth at last year’s D-1 State Finals in Kalamazoo, have a young team after graduating a court full of talented seniors. Still, Pioneer is very, very good and only going to get better under longtime coach Tom Pullen.
As proof, the Pioneers defeated a strong Dexter team 8-0 in an SEC Red Division matchup. The Dreadnaughts have plenty of talent up and down the roster and, like Pioneer, will only improve as the season moves along in 2022.
