This week is a big one for the Bluffton High School girls tennis team as it attempts to break the school record for consecutive wins.
Coach Tony Carmack"s 2002 team won its first nine matches on its way to a 15-4 season mark, the best in Pirate tennis history. Last week coach Jesse Sensenig's team matched that streak with a shutout win over Fostoria, now posting a 9-1 record.
