Memorial High School’s boys doubles tennis pair Grant Reichmann and William Jou faced opponents they knew really well – Memorial High teammates Thomas Pecor and Christian Vieira.
“We had to treat it like they were someone that we didn’t know. But at the same time, we couldn’t be overconfident because we knew who we were playing,” Grant Reichmann told a Houston Chronicle news reporter in Austin.
Reichmann and Jou won the state Class 5A title 6-2, 6-4 against their teammates at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center during the state finals.
