The other singles players Madison Foster, Cheyenne Yeager, Sydney McAdam, and Olivia Seitz lost their matches.

Doubles team Jacee Carpenter and Cheyenne Yeager were unable to win, losing 7-5 and then 6-0.

It was also senior day for the BUHS Girls Tennis Team. Cheyenne Yeager, Elizabeth Poncho, and Melissa Castro are all graduating seniors. Coach Patty Cummings says, “Yeager has been a key player in the last three years. She is a dedicated player rarely missing practice and is a very versatile playing both singles and doubles. She will be greatly missed by the team.” Next up was Poncho, “Even though Poncho just started playing tennis this year as a senior she has picked up the game quickly playing in the #3 doubles spot and winning the last two matches with her teammate Hailey Bragdon.” “Castro was also new to the team,” says coach Cummings, “She has proven to been a great competitor as well,”

Congrats to the seniors, but don’t miss the HDL Finals on Tuesday, October 22, at 10:00 a.m. at the Bishop City Park. The top two singles players and the top two doubles team will advance to the Area Tournament in Bakersfield, CA on November 1.
