The Hays High tennis team hosted the Leander Lions Monday as they opened the 25-6A district team tennis tournament at the Debbie Cook Tennis Courts.  The Rebels knocked the Lions out of contention by defeating Leander 10-2 in the first match of tournament play. With the win, Hays advanced to the second round later in the day, where it traveled to play against the defending Class 5A state runner-up Vandegrift Vipers.  But Hays couldn’t maintain the momentum and fell to Vandegrift 10-0 to close out the fall schedule.
