SARASOTA — Charlotte High School entered its District 7A-11 match against fourth-seeded Sarasota with a positive attitude Monday. The Tarpons knew they’d need to be upbeat to stay competitive, and they were.

Even after the 3-2 (21-25, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22, 15-12) loss that ended the Tarpons’ season, Charlotte looked at the bright side.
