Lady Knights Win Region- Varsity and JV !


The Girls Tennis Team completed the regular season on Sept. 26th with a win over American Fork, going undefeated for the 4th season in a row and putting their dual match winning streak at 66.

The Varsity Region tournament a few days later, found the Knights dominate with Region Championships going to Leah Heimuli @ 1st singles, Morgan Hall @ 2nd singles, Electra Cochran and Lauren Allen @ 1st doubles and Olivia Harkness and JJ Bitton @ 2nd doubles. Sophomore Ellie Slighting took 2nd @ 3rd singles.

Getting to this point for the Varsity was a long arduous process as the team lettered 13 different girls on Varsity, battled through 9 different injuries to players-shins,ankles, wrists, shoulders, concussions and more. The team used 11 different variations of a lineup for their 14 matches. Lost to the team due to injury was Annaliese County, our 3rd singles player, with a shoulder injury for the last five weeks of the season.

As the Varsity prepared for State, our Junior Varsity shined bright @ the Region JV Tournament, sweeping all positions. Championships went to Brooke Spencer @ 1st singles, Reagan Curtis @ 2nd singles, and Bailey Andrus @ 3rd singles. In doubles, Championships went to Cami Gricius and Rachel Neeleman @ 1st doubles, Hannah Bentley and Ava Curtis @2nd doubles, Annabelle Nielsen & Grace Thelin @ 3rd doubles and Aubrie Aagard & Sydney Sheffield @ 4th doubles.

Another spectacular season for the Lady Knights. With the undefeated season this year, this runs their overall record over the past 11 years to 144-10 and their Region record to 119-5 over that same period of time.
