Elkin High School is returning all six of its starters for the 2025 women's tennis season. The Lady Bucking Elks are also adding a senior who did not play last year but started two years ago at number four singles. The squad is also adding the numbers one and number two players from last year's undefeated middle school team. The three seniors who graduated in 2024 were not starters.
Dr. Jim Harrell, Jr. is starting his third season as the head coach at Elkin High School. He has an overall record of 18-10, finishing third in the conference both seasons. The squad held its first practice on Thursday, July 31st on the school courts.
"I am excited about the season. We have eighteen or more that I have been coaching since they were eighth graders. These ladies have matured as players, improved greatly, and are ready to compete in a realigned conference," said Dr. Harrell.
Elkin's top returnee is senior Elissa Dickerson who went 6-6 at number one singles as a junior. Junior Jocelyn Johnson returns at number two singles after an 8-5 campaign in 2024.
