End of the Season Notes and Team Picture!

It was a great year for the Stingray Tennis Team. We went into our last match against Gifford Middle School undefeated but Gifford was undefeated too, and the defending Middle School champions. They were a little better than us and beat us in a close contest, 9-6.

Congratulations to the entire team. I would like to acknowledge Colin Rhodes, who went undefeated at #1 Boys Singles this year, Madelaine Rhodes, who lost only one match at #1 Girls Singles, and Kendall Schlitt, who started off the year playing doubles, then stepped up to play #2 Girls Singles and went undefeated.

I was very proud of the team's performance and how they supported each of their teammates.

Here is a picture of 18 of our 20 kids (missing from this picture are Brittany Hatch and Garritt Garcia, who were both out of state when the picture was taken).

From Left to Right: C.J. Cypert, Dylan Matson, Madelaine Rhodes, Kendall Schlitt, Jeannie Dume, Tess Prater, Coach Daugherty, Ashley Beck, Shannon McLeod, Jackie  Carabia, Salome Rivera, Sunny Lulla, Colin Rhodes, Ian Orzel, Benjamin Baker, Sam Weinstein, Chris Neira, Jackie Neira, and Ryan Wahl.

Also, a huge than you to Brian Orzel, who assisted me with tennis practices and Karen Schlitt, our team Mom.

I hope the kids enjoyed tennis as much as I did coaching them.

Sincerely,

Coach Daugherty
