Q: What is your opinion on having no state series and does that have an affect on any of

the players?

A: I wish there was going to be a state series for those athletes that have worked hard and

made it to the state level however I understand the circumstance this year and why there

cannot be one.

 

Q: What is your overall feeling on the team this year?

A: I am extremely happy with our team this year, although our wins may not show success

these girls give 100% at every practice and match. They all push each other and want

each other to do well. We received a lot of new tennis players this year which is

awesome and I am so proud of each and every one of them for all the hard work they

have put in.

 

Q: How has the season gone so far?

A: Our season has been up and down, our conference is very tough and we play a lot of

state ranked players in our area. We did pull out a conference win over East Peoria.

 

Q: Have there been any big wins so far?

A: I would not say we have had any big team wins but we did have a Doubles team beat

Dunlap in a tie breaker match which was very exciting.  We also had wins over Corner Stone Christian Academy, Kewanee and Peoria High
