Coach’s Comment:

“Isabella (or better known as Bella) was on Varsity for 3 years and was such an amazing tennis player. Bella had a presence on the court that few players have. Bella was not afraid to take risks on the court and was such a smart player. Beyond her fierce tennis skills, Bella always showed amazing sportsmanship and was such a gracious player. I was looking forward to coaching Bella again this year because I know she would have been one of our top players. Bella's presence will be missed on the team next year, but I am excited to hear about all the great things she will accomplish.”

Favorite Memory:
Friday practices when we had karaoke dance parties.

Coach’s Comment:
“Angela is a natural born tennis player. I would call Angela "the wall" because she could get anything back. Angela is such a fun tennis player to watch because she can frustrate any opponent with her consistency and ability to read the court. Angela is also one of the most mentally stable tennis players I have ever coached, she never gets rattled during a match. Angela was a mentor and leader on the team, and as a senior it would have been no different. I know her positive attitude and natural leadership will ensure she is successful in all future endeavors.”

“I unfortunately never got to coach MacKenzie directly, however she was pulled up for Varsity matches and it was such a pleasure to get to coach her and watch her play.
