Yes, it’s that time of the year again where some of the most talented and skillful students/players come out and dominate the courts. Tennis season is here ladies and gentlemen. This year’s team looks determined to have a strong season and finish on a high note. This year’s team includes 7 seniors (4 boys, 3 girls) and joining them is the returning coach coming out of retirement, Ms. Donnell.
Last year Lloyd had two doubles teams and two singles players who went to the regional competition, but unfortunately they suffered hard fought losses in the first round. Senior, Brent Christiansen states, “We’re really looking to bounce back from our disappointing losses last year. We’ve been putting extra work in at the courts as a team and individually. If that’s not dedication and determination, I don’t know what is”.
The Juggernauts tennis team is currently about halfway through their season scheduled games. At this point in the season the team has had a lot of success with most players having above .500 records (or winning over half of their games played). Senior, Habsa Dia, who plays 1st singles for the girls says,
“One goal I have for the rest of the season is win the majority of the games that I have left to play,
it’ll be a challenge, but I’m confident in my ability and focus”.
The tennis team has a big conference match against Newport Central Catholic next Wednesday, April 22. Come out and support your fellow Juggernaut tennis team as they could use the support in one of their biggest matches of the year.
