Tuesday’s Sauk Valley Media sports roundup

Prep tennis

Oregon HS adds tennis: The Rochelle Township High School board approved a pilot two-year co-op program with Oregon HS on Monday in boys and girls tennis. Oregon did not have a tennis team, and it will be the first sport to co-op at Rochelle. RTHS Superintendent Jason Harper said the main reason for the move is to increase numbers on both teams. Oregon has a co-op with Byron HS in boys and girls swimming and with Winnebago in boys and girls bowling.
