Totino Grace

Tennis team finished the week off with a 4 team round robin competing against Delano, St. Francis and Totino Grace. Going into the match we were going to be short some players due to other obligations which gave some JV tennis players the opportunity to play a few matches. In the first round we lost to Delano 6-1. Laura S and Olivia K lost at 3rd doubles in straight sets. They played some great points and once they understand the movement there is no question they will get some wins on varsity. Caitlyn won at 3rd singles in straight sets and in fact she won all of her matches on the day. Caitlyn is playing such great matches ever since her Park Center loss. Gabi lost an extremely tight two setter at 1st singles. In the 2nd round we lost to St. Francis 4-3. In this match we moved some of our singles players into doubles to see how they would do and there were some positive results. Caitlyn and Melanie won in a super tiebreaker at 2nd doubles. Macie and Coral won at 3rd doubles. Gabi also won in a super tiebreaker in a great match.  In the 3rd round we lost to Totino Grace 4-3. Gabi and Caitlyn won in straight sets. Morgan and Teyah won in a super tiebreaker coming from behind, way to be in the NOW in the match.  As Coach Fellows said we have a group of players compete until the final point has been played and not all teams do that. Even though we lost all 3 matches there were so many positive items that occurred on Saturday.  Last year we lost to Delano 7-0 this year 6-1; St. Francis lost last year 6-1 this year 4-3; TG last year we lost 5-2 this year 4-3. We are getting better and we could make some head waves in section play later on this season. Results are as follows:
