Hilton Head Island girls tennis to play for state championship
The Hilton Head Island girls’ tennis team earned a spot in the state championship Wednesday.
The Seahawks defeated Hartsville, 4-2, to win the Class 4A Lower State championship. The match was originally scheduled for Monday but was pushed back because of weather.
Hilton Head faces AC Flora for the state championship at 10 a.m. Saturday at Lexington Tennis Center. The teams met in the 2012 state championship, won by the Seahawks.
