It is never easy winning a state championship and while Richardson Pearce didn't have that easy a road to travel, it sure was a lot easier than the one Austin Westlake traveled last month in claiming a state team tennis title. Richardson Pearce won its first Conference 5A team tennis crown with a victory over San Antonio Churchill while Austin Westlake won its third Conference 4A championship. In the Conference 5A semifinals, Richardson Pearce beat Houston Clear Lake 13-5 while San Antonio Churchill edged Abilene Cooper 9-9, 22-20 in sets. In the finals, Richardson Pearce posted a 12-6 decision over San Antonio Churchill. Austin Westlake advanced to the Conference 4A finals by the slimmest of margins. The Chaps defeated three-time defending state champion Dallas Highland Park in the second and final tie breaker, 190-188 in games. Both squads were tied 9-9 in matches and 21-21 in sets.
