It was almost one year ago when two Knoxville Girls Tennis players participated at the class1A state doubles tennis meet. Alex Griggs, who was in her second state tournament appearance, and Anna Sanderson began play at the University of Iowa Tennis Center in Iowa against a familiar duo of Deseree Stubbe and CeJay Blakley of Clarke. The interesting thing about this matchup was it was the first time the doubles teams met last year. Due to scheduling and that Griggs and Sanderson did not play Stubbe and Blakley in the regular season nor conference meet. Griggs and Sanderson would fall to the Clarke duo two sets to none and were placed in the consolation bracket where their state meet run ended with a two sets to none loss to a duo from Cedar Rapids Xavier. Griggs and Sanderson’s career came to an end with Griggs continuing her tennis career at Central College.
