Towers Tennis: Confidence and Determination Help Turn Program Around

Tennis was established at Towers High School in 1995.

For 18 seasons, the boys’ tennis program never managed to put together a winning season. That all changed in 2013 when the Titans went 6-3 under then-head coach Kevin Owen-Robinson. The program continued to get better under a new coach, Emanuel Lewis.

Lewis took over the program in 2014 and led the team to an 8-1 record. This season, Lewis led Towers to an 11-3 record and its first state playoff appearance. Towers defeated Westside-Augusta 3-0 in the first round, but lost to Pierce County 4-0 in the second round.
