Francis Alvir earned four varsity letters as a Cavalier. During his freshman year Francis won the District title and finished runner-up in the Regional tournament. As a sophomore Francis went 22-0 and captured the triple crown in high school tennis, winning District, Regional and State titles. The following year he was the District and Regional champion and finished runner-up in the State tournament.
