A n Even Swin and Regina beating them both 4-1. Ingrid Gswchwind, a sophomore, stated, Even though we had a few slumps we always seemed to pull things together and came up with a 8-8 overall season. Most of the teams the girls went up against were AA or AAA . These schools have better teams because their players have to try out to make the team. Our disadvantage is that we are a small school and only get around 8 girls to go out for the team. The only AAA school the netters beat was Chardon, whom they defeated twice. They beat AA schools such as Painesville Harvey and Twinsburg. Even though the netters were playing larger and better schools they never gave This year ' s Girls Tennis Team had sev- en of its players returning, fired up and ready to go. They had one additional freshman player, Mindy Imire. The netters started out the season on the right foot defeating Chardon High School 3-2. The girls went into a slump losing the next 4 matches. But they were not going to give up, they came back and won 3 straight matches. The girls went into another slump at the end of the sea- son but came back to win their last two matches, in which they played Twinsburg up. After a loss or a few losses, they were more determined to come back and win. They never gave up they went to practice every day when there wasn ' t a match and practiced even harder. They were determined to win and they usually came back and won. They had an overall season of 8 wins, 8 losses. The girls and Coach Leciejewski always stuck together, they were determined and always trying to help each other out any way they could. If it was helping the team with their serve-volley or even if they needed to talk, they were always there for each other. Thats what you call team work. — K.K. 90 Girls Tennis
