In 1996 the middle school league finished with a tournament of six teams. This year, we saw 54 teams with a registration of 688 players finish the Northern New Mexico Middle School Tennis Season. A total of 39 individual schools were represented at the year-end tournament. Again, schools came from as far south as Las Cruces to as far north as Los Alamos. Schools from Albuquerque, Belen, Los Lunas, Los Alamos, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Espanola, and Edgewood all participated. Thank you everyone for a great year!
