The Watauga Women's Tennis Team
The Watauga Women's Tennis Team has had an incredibly successful season, continuing their streak of wins from past seasons into this current season. This season marked the 4th consecutive conference win for the Women's Tennis Team, and with the season coming to a close they hope to continue that streak into next season.
Jennifer Pillow is the tennis coach and has led her team to many successes over the past few seasons. With each tennis season, the main goal is to win the conference championship, and the Women's Tennis Team has made this a reality for the past 4 seasons.
¨Winning conference is always the goal and for the past 4 years we have achieved that goal,¨ Pillow said. ¨It’s a huge accomplishment for our team to be so successful and dominate. It means everything to us.¨
This season was a great achievement for the seniors on the team since this conference win guarantees that they have won conference each year of their high school career
¨The fact that the 8 seniors have never lost a conference match, 31-0 in four years, that’s an incredible achievement,¨ said Pillow
This season the tennis team set out to continue their streak as conference champions. Coach Pillow never doubted that her team would pull through for this conference championship.
¨This season has gone exactly as I perceived it to go. I knew we had talent and experience on our side,¨ said Pillow ¨I had complete trust and confidence in this team and they proved me right.¨
The players shared their sentiments of the season with their coach. Amira Younce is a senior and believes that the team's secret to success is perseverance.
Perseverance has been our theme this season and is why we have been so successful. We stay strong and fight through whatever obstacles come our way,¨ Younce said
Hatherley Armfield is a sophomore and has been a member of the tennis team for 2 years now. She believes that the team's bond is the secret to their success.
¨The tight-knit bond of our team has proved to be important to our team this season,¨ said Armfield
This season has also been full of new successes, with the team winning duels as a team. These successes help propel their team to winning.
¨Winning the first round of Duels has been a major accomplishment, said Younce ¨We've never won against a team in duels and being able to do so has really shown our growth as players,¨
The team ultimately finished their season as conference champions, marking their 4th consecutive conference win.
“We're undefeated in the conference and have been consistent and played well,'' said Younce. ¨I feel like this might have been one of the best seasons and I'm glad to go out on a good note.¨
