KANELAND—While eight seniors are gone from last year’s Kaneland tennis crew, the three varsity returnees all bring a game that’s been battle tested.

Monday saw Kaneland High School dish out their annual awards for the fall sports season.

Kaneland tennis saw its season end on Saturday after the St. Charles East Sectional. With both St. Charles outfits and Western Sun Conference anchor Geneva, it proved to be one of the more difficult groupings in 2009....

Heading into postseason, the KHS tennis crew had to deal with not only opposing teams, but the elements.

While the Lady Knights and Lady Spartans played tennis under cover of darkness on Monday evening, it was no mystery about the final result.

With a couple of tough outings against Western Sun Conference teams, the Lady Knights tennis squad fell to 4-6 in dual action this season.

That makes three wins in a row for the Lady Knights tennis team.

Lady Knights tennis (2-4, 1-1 Western Sun Conference) took a tumble against Batavia on Thursday, but righted itself on Tuesday at Rochelle.

Lady Knights tennis (1-3) got back on track with a win against Minooka on Thursday by a 5-2 dual score, but fell to IMSA (5-2) the following Tuesday.
