MOULTRIE — After sweeping Thomas County Central on on Monday in Thomasville, both Colquitt County tennis teams will take winning records into next week’s schedule.

And both of next week’s matches will be on the road: against Deerfield-Windsor at Doublegate Country in Albany on Monday, Feb. 13, and at Coffee on Thursday, Feb. 16.

“They will be great competition to prepare us for the four region matches back-to-back after that,” said Lady Packers coach Amber Day.

After the matches with Deerfield-Windsor and Coffee, the Colquitt teams, both 2-1, will play at Camden County on Feb. 2; Lowndes at home on Feb. 28; Richmond Hill at home on March 3; and at Valdosta on March 7.
