A: “The whole school year I’ve been going to the open hittings and conditionings after school. A little bit, I actually met most of the team last year in middle school from just attending all of the matches and knowing them outside of school already, but mainly with conditioning and open hitting I got a lot closer with most of the freshmen that were going to try out for the team.”

Q: What was your first reaction after school was canceled due to the Coronavirus?

A: “Well, at first I didn’t expect the rest of the school year to be canceled, like I didn’t expect the rest of the school year to finish online.  So I was upset but I was hoping that we would at least get a little bit of a tennis season, but I’m very upset about not being able to have a season at all now.  This whole school year I’ve looked forward to being on a team, and the fact that I’m not able to be on a team has made me upset.  I’ve also put in so much work for this season to try and make a good place up on the team.”
