Robert E. Lee tennis took out Rockwall 10-0 Tuesday at Tyler Junior College. It was the Red Raiders second 10-0 win in three team matches after doing the same earlier this month at Mesquite Horn.

The Red Raiders did not waste time against the Yellowjackets, posting straight set win all three boys doubles matches and sweeping the girls doubles as well with two of the three needing three sets.



After a straight mixed doubles victory for the seventh point of the contest, REL needed only three singles victories. With many matches still going, Lee achieved the requisite victories from Jack Nowlin, Peyton Drain, Claire Fisher and Lily Deatherage.

Lee is now 5-0 in District 11-6A and will next face North Mesquite on Tuesday at North Mesquite High School.
