The 2025 FHSAA Tennis State Championships have come to a conclusion. There were tons of great storylines from the Team and Individual Championships. Whether it was True North Academy winning both the Boy’s and Girl’s titles in 1A or Miami Palmetto winning their second 3A title in three years, there was so much happening.
