The Nease Girls Tennis team are State Champions!! 

This past week the girls’ tennis team went to Altamonte Springs on a mission to bring back the program sixth FHSAA state championship. The team has been led by Head coach Michael Kypriss who’s a five-time state champion as a coach and Captain Kylie Kochis who’s is a three team All-News4Jax selection who propelled the team’s momentum into their 5-1 win against Jensen Beach High School to secure the trophy. The matches consisted of two doubles wins by Kochis and Filer, alongside playing partner Blair Murry who secured the semis-win that allowed Kochis and Filer to dominate in the championship. Junior Blair Murray says that the team success as states can be attributed to, “Our team’s immense positivity for each other no matter what helped us because it allowed us to play with more confidence individually, so we could collectively win for each other.”
