Mullen back for second season with Maroons tennis after sectional title

Keira Mullen is back for a second season with Central’s girls’ tennis team after winning a sectional title in her freshman year. The Champaign, Illinois, player finished 25-1 and earned a spot in the state finals as she begins a new high school campaign. Central also enters the season with a coaching change following Scott Davis’s retirement. Kida Ferrari takes over the program after graduating from Illinois, where she played four years. Both players say the focus is returning to the state finals while building stronger team bonds. Central’s season starts August 22 at the Centennial Charger Invite.
