After a two-year drought, the Wilmington High School tennis team looks to get back on top of the SBAAC American Division this spring.

Wilmington won titles in 2019 and 2021 but has finished back in the pack the past two seasons. WHS was 4-14 last season and 2-8 against American competition.

Steve Reed is in his 24th season as head coach and has compiled an impressive 221-142 record. Doug Cooper is the JV coach with Jim Rinehart returning as a volunteer assistant, Reed pointed out.

Trey Reed is the lone returning starter for Wilmington. He earned first team All-SBAAC honors.

“Trey does a great job leading the team,” coach Reed said.

Reed will likely move up to first singles following the graduation of Alex Lazic, who held down that top spot in 2023 while earning first team All-SBAAC.

The veteran WHS coach said, “Numbers are growing and we have a lot of young players who are coming out for tennis for the first time (but) we have very little experience. So we are starting from scratch on most courts. We just need time on the court.”

With such a young squad, Reed said the goal is simple.

”Come out and compete in every league match,” he said. “We will be less experienced than most teams but we will find ways to compete on every court.”
