Monache High School’s Varsity Tennis Team is ready to beat
Porterville High School-again. This year’s varsity team includes Electa Wright,
Dahlia Martinez, Swati Reddy, Iris Martinez, Sabrina Lathrop, Rachelle
Gutierrez, Cynthia Valencia, Viviana Rodriguez, Elyza Agacoli and Jasmine
Sotelo. Only Electa, Dahlia, Sabrina and Rachelle are the returning players
from the 2011 season. From Porterville High School, the only returning player
is Cecilia Felix, so Monache has a good feeling about EYL this year. On August
23rd, the girls were supposed to play against Hanford’s team but, at last
minute, Hanford canceled due to not having enough players. The rescheduled
match against Hanford is to be announced, but the team next plays El Diamante
on Thursday, August 30th.
“I’m super excited about the Clovis Tournament. Since it’ll
be my first time going to the tournament, I hope it’s as intense and fun as
everyone says!” Swati Reddy says. This year, Coach Gary Perez scheduled more
matches and tournaments than last year. This includes playing against Hanford,
El Diamante, Delano, and a tournament in Stockdale. The varsity team will also
be staying overnight for the Stockdale and Clovis Tournaments, which they have
never done before.
“Even
though this is a building-a-team year, we’re still really strong. The girls are
out there practicing their hearts out and giving it their best,” says Coach
Shearer. “I’m so confident about EYL this year.”
