The Dexter tennis team held serve on its home court on Thursday afternoon against a competitive Bedford team in an SEC dual-meet. The Dreadnaughts won all four doubles matches to score a hard-fought 5-3 win over the visiting Kicking Mules.
“So far, so good,” said Dexter coach Robert Smothers. “We have a big tournament at Fenton High School on Saturday that will start to shape our post-season aspirations. We have some big matches coming up over the next couple of weeks, and I’m excited to see how things unfold.”

“We’ve had some really good practices lately, and the boys seem ready to go,” he said.
