Season Recap: Varsity Tennis
LADY INDIANS
It was a solid season for the Lady Indians tennis team, who made school history by posting a winning record, 10 total wins, and making the state tournament for the first time ever.
The Lady Indians won six of their final seven matches prior to the first round of state at Holy Innocents. The 3-2 record in region play was good enough for a third-place finish in 8-A Private.
All told, the girls were 10-7 overall on the season. Maggie Peacock went 6-9 at #1 singles, Gigi Welch went 11-6 at #2, and Evette Corwin finished at 11-5. The doubles combo of Ashli Webb and Sophie Herrera went 9-7 overall at #1, while #2 doubles Cassidy Hayes and Annabelle Jackson were 10-3. Other players such as Ava Wehrstein, Sussie Sun, Reese Wilson and Claire Bellamy contributed during the season with many wins as well.
"We would like to start off with a great big thank you for all the support that you have given to the varsity girls tennis team this season," says coach Randy Morris. "It has been a time of excitement and hard work for our ladies. It will be tough to see Gigi leave the team as our only senior. She has been an inspiration and excellent captain. However, we return the rest of the team that has already asked to work this summer in preparation for a potential state repeat. This thing is contagious."
INDIANS
Playing with a limited roster, the Indians were forced to forfeit many matches and ended up with a 1-11-1 overall record. The boys were led by #1 singles player Josh Jackson, who finished 3-9 overall. Jerry Sang (1-4), Jason Sang (2-4) and Marc Crotta (0-1) also played singles. Yugi Xue and Crotta were 1-1 in doubles, while the Sang brothers were 0-1 together. Xue and David Hu combined for an 0-3 mark, while Jerry Sang and Xue were 1-0.
A few eighth-graders got experience by participating in exhibition matches that did not count toward true varsity competition. The future of the program reeled off about 10 exhibition victories.
