High School Tennis Rankings: 09.17.2023

Rankings are available for the new Nebraska state dual championships that will be held in Kearney this fall the week before the state tournament. While this will not be an NSAA sanctioned event, coaches hope to make that proposal if the event is successful. Elkhorn coach Jon Holtz provides rankings each Sunday and they are listed below.

The qualifiers will be determined by a points system that is used in most NSAA activities and loosely based on the current state wrestling duals criteria. So far, 222 matches have been entered and only teams choosing to participate in the new format are included in these rankings.
