The Carmi-White County girls tennis team hosted Mt. Carmel at Bradshaw Park on Tuesday afternoon. The Lady Bulldogs were defeated by a score of 9-0. Head coach Chris Courty says it’s the first time Mt. Carmel has defeated Carmi in about 8 years, but this year’s Aces squad is very senior heavy, unlike CWC. The girls tennis team will travel to Mt. Vernon Illinois tomorrow afternoon.
