Randall High School Tennis Team Aims for Second Consecutive Championship with Strong Roster in 2025 Season

In the spirited city of Randall, exciting times are ahead for the high school tennis team as they set their sights on clinching a second consecutive Class 4A State Team Tennis Championship. With a dynamic roster filled with talent and determination, the 2025 season is shaping up to be a thrilling ride for both players and fans alike!

Building on Past Success

Head coach Darby Norman is at the helm, and he is all about keeping the momentum going after the team’s remarkable previous season. The team has a legacy of significant success, owing much of its glory to formidable players like Kynley Craddock and Jensen Betzen, among others. The prospects look bright with a host of seasoned seniors leading the charge!

Senior Stars Shine Bright

Returning to the court this year are six seniors who played critical roles in the team’s past successes. Kynley Craddock, a true standout and two-time defending state champion, has reached an impressive milestone by achieving her 300th high school tennis match. Joining her are fellow seniors Jasmine Phillips, known for her prowess in mixed doubles, and a formidable group of boys: Sawyer Eason, Damian Martinez, Keaton Daniels, and Elisha Godwin. Together, they are poised to make waves on the court.

Fresh Faces and Rising Stars

The junior class is not to be overlooked either! Lily Harding is eager to return to state competition this spring, while Amy Giffin, Marcos Hernandez, and Cesar Macias are all eyeing their chance to shine and secure their spots in the lineup. But the excitement doesn’t end there!

Among the sophomores, Jensen Betzen and Abri Hays have already proven their mettle, showcasing impressive performances at state last spring. Meanwhile, Autumn Bell and Gavin Yarber are racking up match wins, establishing themselves as key players early in the season. Newcomer Natha Hatter joins Chloe Dyess on the varsity squad, adding depth to a well-rounded team.

Freshmen Make Their Mark

This year’s freshman class is brimming with talent. Emerson Daniels and Lauren Miles have already secured starting spots in the lineup, showcasing their skills right from the get-go. Others like Preston Land and Juliana Reilly are making noteworthy progress as they adapt to the rigors of varsity competition, and Ethan Rodriguez, Caleb Dishong, and Fallon Christie prove that youth has no limits!

A Strong Start and Future Challenges

Currently, the Randall High School tennis team boasts an impressive record of 15-1 for the fall season! Although the team said goodbye to six out of twelve starters from last year’s championship squad, the new lineup is filled with potential and optimism. Their only setback this season was a close match against the powerhouse Amarillo High, a Class 5A school, but they’ve more than held their own against several challenging opponents, even defeating some 6A and 5A schools like Midland Legacy.

Looking Ahead

As the season progresses, Coach Norman recognizes the importance of staying on top. He believes the team is more than ready to face rising challenges from teams such as Canyon and Vernon, which he identifies as key contenders going forward. The aim is to return to the regional tournament and keep the legacy of success alive.

A Winning Mentality

One thing that Coach Norman emphasizes is the team’s strong “us versus the world” mentality, a spirit that will undoubtedly guide them through both triumphs and trials ahead. As they prepare to serve their way into a bright future, the Randall High School tennis team is all set to set the courts ablaze, one game at a time!
