MVP Tennis and the SCHSL
At Mountain View Prep, our tennis story is just beginning — but every first serve, every rally, and every long match connects us to a tradition that has been unfolding across South Carolina for decades.
Tennis in the SCHSL Found Its Stride in the Late 1960s and 1970s
The South Carolina High School League didn’t always keep neat records of its tennis championships, but the earliest stories point back to programs like Travelers Rest winning a boys’ title in 1969, Rock Hill following in 1971, and T.L. Hanna launching a run of dominance in 1974. For the girls, the first officially recognized championship we can trace came in 1987, again from T.L. Hanna. These schools laid the groundwork for what tennis in our state would become.
The Era of Organized Records
By 1980, the SCHSL began publishing Palmetto’s Finest, a record book that finally put tennis alongside football, basketball, and other headline sports. From that point forward, champions were logged, legacies were preserved, and the sport gained the recognition it deserved.
The Mystery of the First Match
And yet the very first official SCHSL tennis meet? Still a mystery. No clear record tells us exactly when or where that first ball was struck under League play. Maybe that’s part of what makes the story special. Like a good rally, the point is still hanging in the air, waiting for the next shot.
Where MVP Fits In
For Mountain View Prep, joining SCHSL tennis means stepping into this living history. While we may not yet have the long list of championships that schools like T.L. Hanna or Bishop England can boast, we’re writing the first lines of our own chapter. Years from now, someone may look back at these pages and say, “That was the start of something.”
