Record Setting Season
The 2025 Tennis Season was a bright spot in the history of Marauder Tennis with both the boys and girls teams winning districts, regionals and advancing to the state competition. Led by Head Coach Chuck Bunker and Assistant Head Coach Allen Long, both teams thrived in their seasons. The girls’ team had an impeccable record of 11-0 in the regular season, earning titles as district champions, regional champions, and securing a spot in the State Final 4. Their season was further distinguished by triumphs at the Bainbridge Tournament, and the Capital City Championship. Out of 131 1A schools, the girls finished in the top 4 in the state, highlighting their dominance and skill. The boys' team also had a strong season, with a regular season record of 6-5, advancing as district and regional champions and making it to the State Elite 8. Impressively, out of 131 1A schools, the boys finished in the top 8. Notably, this season marked the first time in Maclay School’s history that both the boys' and girls' teams advanced beyond the regional finals to compete at the State level, setting a historic precedent for the tennis program.

As part of Maclay’s overall Athletics Master Plan, enhancements to the Tennis Facility are planned to continue the momentum created over the past few years. Thanks to the generosity of the Maclay Community, over the past few years, the Tennis Facility has added an ice machine for use by all players, and the new Tennis Hitting Wall, the size of a full court, for players to hit and practice. Maclay’s tennis facilities are an essential tool for the Marauder Tennis program, and also provide valuable space to play for local leagues, and year-round after school enrichment. This is truly a facility that serves the full Maclay community and beyond.
At this time, resurfacing is needed for all of the courts at the Tennis Complex. With the support of the Maclay Community, this will be possible and completed in time for Fall Tennis Clinics and the Spring 2026 Tennis Season.
About the newly added Tennis Hitting Wall
Thanks to the generosity of the Maclay Community, the Maclay Tennis Facility benefitted from the addition of a Tennis Hitting Wall at the Tennis Facility. This wall is available for players to spend time hitting and mastering skills without the need for a ball machine, coach or practice partner. The wall is also used for warm up or cool down prior to practice or matches.
