Girls Tennis Celebrates This Season’s Successes
May 17, 2022
Freshman Kennedy Harris placed first in the singles matches. “During the win, it was very stressful,” she said. “But afterward, I was very happy because it was a nice experience.”
The team began their celebration by taking photos and playing indoor tennis in the gym with one another.
The La Salle girls tennis team stood collectively for a photo with their newly-won quarterfinals plaque. Yet, “it’s not all about winning,” junior Casandra Ramirez said. “We have a lot of fun out there.”
In winning the quarterfinals, the girls tennis team earned a new plaque for the main hall display cases. Here, a few teammates stand with their rackets and the plaque.
The team finished the celebration by watching the movie “King Richard,” an origin story of sisters Venus and Serena Williams told through the perspective of their father.
On Thursday, the La Salle girls tennis team celebrated the victories they earned in the quarterfinals at the district tournament as their season comes to a close.
La Salle had three doubles teams and three singles teams in the quarterfinals, and now members of the varsity team who qualified will be competing at the state level from May 20-21.
With a new coach mid-season and more practices in the gym than on the outdoor courts due to weather, “I think this season was an unusual but really good season,” junior Casandra Ramirez said. “We adapted very quickly, and our season goes to show it.”
