Yorktown High School

Yorktown fell to a very strong and deep Mt. Vernon team, with Varsity losing 5-0 and Junior Varsity losing 10-2. With wind gusts over 30 mph, it made for some difficult tennis, but wind is typically a good equalizer as both sides must struggle with it. That proved to be true for various points and games, but unfortunately not for full matches. Some highlights for the night: --Jillian at 1 singles had to contend with the top singles player in the conference and a shoe-in for All-State, but fought hard throughout and winning some games with her aggressive play. --Hannah lost her first set 4-6, but dominated the second 6-0 to force a third set. Being down 3-9 in the super breaker, she won the next 4 points to continue to pressure her opponent, but eventually lost 7-10 - way to fight being down! --Emma stepped up again into Varsity due to Georgia being out sick, this time in the #1 doubles spot and she played well against a very tough doubles team who will most likely be All-State as well. Great job Jules for leading the freshman well! --In JV play, they took 2 matches this year (last year the score was 0-11) with Adrianna/Nicky and Claire/Ryleigh winning their playbacks. --And it was great to see JJ and Kya compete in their first match of the season!!!
