Despite not having courts finished, and bad weather throughout the Winter, the JV tennis team has gotten off to a great begin to the season.

Now with home matches scheduled and being played at Mount Notre Dame, the season was ready.

The first match was scheduled against Kings, on Mon., Apr. 7, at home, but due to weather problems, the match was cancelled.

The second match was scheduled against Fairfield, on Tues., Apr. 8, at Fairfield. On all of the courts, the SHS tennis team had very good results, winning the match 5-0.

   “It was a great way to start off the season, and hopefully we have many more matches like it,” said Rohan D’Souza, 10,

The third match was scheduled against Turpin, on Wed. Apr. 9, at Turpin. After the 35 min. drive, the team once again played very good tennis, sealing a 4-0 win. In a close three set match, June Nishikawa, 9, and Brandon Lombardi, 11, played to clinch the win for SHS. On Thurs, Apr. 10, they face off against their rival Mason, who also has not lost any of their matches.

Jack Loon, Staff Writer
My name is Jack Loon, and I am a sophomore on the SHS Leaf Staff. This is my second year on staff and I love being a part of the student voice. One of my favorite things to write about is tennis. I play for the school team, who is one of the top ranked in the state. Last year, our A team was first in the state, our B team won the Sycamore Cup, and our JV team went undefeated. I love watching tennis, and keeping up with the Reds. I also love writing opinion articles. Last year, I wrote a few opinion pieces on things that happen in our school such as ACE, exams, and MAP testing. You can follow me on Twitter @jackoloon14, and on Instagram @jackoloon.
