The J.J. Kelly girls tennis squad, in what is almost certainly its final season before planned consolida tion this summer, has turned back the clock with its first Group A state tournament appearance since 2000. State tournament berths were once as ho-hum for the Kelly girls as fourth period, with the Indians advancing to the final every year in the 1990s, a run that included a state-record seven consecutive state championships between 1991 and 1997.
