Byron Center Bulldogs

Your Byron Center Tennis team had a huge win last night against Regional opponent and #8 ranked Forest Hills Central. The Bulldogs won the match 7-1 with huge wins from multiple flights. “They are a great team to play and the atmosphere is always intense”, said Byron Center head coach Andy Ely. “We fought hard at every flight and matched their intensity. We will see them again at regionals and we will prepare for that.” The win marked the first time in history that Byron Center has beaten all 3 Forest Hills schools in the same season. Next up tomorrow is the Hudsonville quad where BC faces tough D1 and D3 teams. Come out to cheer on this team Saturday, and also wave to them at 5:30pm today during the Byron Center Homecoming parade!
