Nine schools from the St. Louis area will vie for the title of national champion in their hometown at the Wilson U.S. National High School Championships, presented by Penn Racquet Sports, being held at The Concord Club, March 3-5.

The individual winners of the girls and boys’ gold divisions will earn a one-year appointment to the U.S. Junior National Team.

• Desmet Jusuit High School
• Kirkwood High School
• Nerinx Hall High School
