Spring Sport high school athletes are trying to get into shape physically and mentally after sitting out last season due to COVID.
That means players in Baseball, Boys Tennis, Boys Golf, Track and Field and girls soccer are basically starting all over. Sophomores who saw a small amount of playing time are now Seniors and expected to lead the team.
In Chillicothe, one of the sports hit hard by last year’s cancellation is Hornets Boys Tennis.
Coach Bob Long says it hurt in experience and in numbers out for the sport.
Coach Long says the younger players have little experience. He has just eight players out for tennis with six returning and two new players.
