New Players Strengthen Girls’ Tennis Team
By Sazan Pasori
As the new school year begins to set in, the Dunn Girls’ Tennis season follows. You may see the girls running campus loops, perhaps shagging stray tennis balls in the nearby field, but usually the players are rallying back and forth on the lower campus courts. Under the coaching of Ms. Brownson and Mr. Fox, Dunn Girls’ Tennis is a new team, not only within the Condor League, but also within our local region, playing schools like Carpinteria and Orcutt Charter. “I think we’re going to be a little stronger than last year,” stated head coach, Beth Brownson, “because we’ve got some strong new players. We’re still going to have a struggle with certain teams...but some of our players are going to give them some really good matches.”
Last year, the team was lead by senior captain Vanessa Bell, who has since graduated and therefore left an open spot at number one singles. So, who will be number one singles? “Danielle Walker is our [team’s] very good new sophomore. She’s going to be a real asset to our team, and I can’t wait to see her play her first match,” commented Coach Brownson.
Senior captains Audrey Volmer and Julia Jones look forward to the new season, and Jones states, “Our team has a range of talent, and I look forward to seeing where we end up.” Meanwhile, current senior Hayley Harrison may move into the number one spot at doubles, if she is not playing as number two or three singles. Harrison has been on the team for four years. After a previously postponed game, the girls’ tennis team will be playing Besant Hill’s varsity team in a match on Dunn’s home courts, tomorrow at 2:00pm. The girls’ tennis team at Besant Hill is new to the Condor League and Dunn is ready to start the new season against a new team.
