Girls Tennis Overview
|
|
In addition to the
leadership provided by our seniors, there were many accomplishments in the
2006 tennis season. To name a few, at #1 singles Natasha Topoluk (11th)
repeated as Sub-Section 5A Singles Champ, finished 2nd in 5A
Sections, and finished in the Quarterfinals at the State Tourney. #2
singles Chelsea Gross (10th) finished runner up singles in
Sub-Section 5A singles, and up-and-coming Elena Sullivan (7th)
went undefeated at singles during both the regular season and playoffs.
Our
team's success is derived from all twelve players' making a commitment to
intensity at practice, and then continuing that by practicing after
practice--whether with pros at clubs, or with friends on a neighborhood
court. Off-season workouts are essential to those players seeking to
perform at the highest level of MSHSL competition. We have an outstanding
and supportive parent community that makes the effort to attend matches,
cheer the team, and assist in the development of the whole player--from
tennis aptitude, to prayer life, to fostering team camaraderie. Finally,
each player understands that to become a weapon at both singles and doubles
provides our team greater depth and strength when competing in the MSHSL.
