ROME — Skill is one thing the Rockmart girls’ tennis team has put on display for several seasons. But this year’s group has proved they also have the character needed to battle adversity.

That was on display last week in the finals of the Region 7-AA tournament as the Lady Jackets fought Model at the Rome Tennis Center at Berry College on Wednesday, April 12, before winning 3-1 after a back-and-forth battle at No. 1 doubles and winning the region title.
