Senior Makenna Beasley showed physical toughness on the court as she bounced from a tough doubles loss and fought to win her #4 Rank Singles match 8-5. Her opponent kept her moving and Beasley’s athleticism was evident on the court as spectators
witnessed her ability to get to difficult shots across the court!
Senior Emily Barnes playing #5 Rank took over her match and turned an easy match for her opponent into an hour fight! Barnes was down 3-8 and came back to tie it up 8-8! Thus, playing a 7 point tie breaker! In addition to mental toughness and long volleys, Barnes played point to point.
