From LexBot twenty-four seven, Cooper High School's Kayla Johnson is making a run at tennis history. The standout player is pursuing what would be her third Region nine tennis championship, which would make her the first athlete in Cooper's history to capture three regional tennis titles.

Meanwhile, in other high school sports news across the region, Ryle High School's boys volleyball team is continuing their postseason journey after advancing in recent competition.

There's also a significant coaching change to report in basketball, as Holmes High School announced that head coach Sam Elsbernd has resigned from his position. Elsbernd's departure marks the end of his tenure leading the Holmes basketball program.
