Gold Tennis

The second doubles team of Garrett Van Helmondt and Ofori Ohene won the silver medal at the Colonial League Championship Wednesday.

The last time Saucon Valley won two golds in the tournament was reportedly in the 1970s, a team parent said.

The tennis team is coached by head coach Joann Ochse and assistant coaches Michael Krentz, Roger Ochse and Dan Fowler.

“The Saucon boys tennis team is really looking forward to the upcoming District 11 tournaments starting this Monday at Lehigh University,” said Ochse.
