The Warriors demolished the Vandegrift Vipers 11-7 on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The JV Orange Tennis team remained determined throughout the matches despite the heavy heat and strong opponents.
Each player showed off their hours of practice with powerful forehanded strikes and serves. Specifically, in the singles matches, Saisha Singh ‘28 adeptly took care of her match 8-2. Soon after in the doubles matches, Singh and her partner won 8-0.
Deep into the game, Evan Graham ‘28 and his duo took another final score of 8-2 for the Warriors, crushing their opponents despite the matches starting rough.
“We started 0-2,” Graham said. “But then we got our heads back in the game. I think I can improve on my backhands and left-hand volleys. I just want to [show off] to the best of my ability, and that’ll make me really happy.”
Despite shoving every last effort into the match, there were some inevitable losses, but the overall score of the meet still held strong and showed off the Warrior’s skill.
“[My opponents] were pretty good,” Matthew Park ‘28 said. “I was a bit sad that I lost because everyone else had won, but I think if I played a little better I could’ve beat them. I could work on my backhands and forehands and hit stronger shots.”
JV Orange will play against Round Rock High School on the Warrior Home Court on Thursday, Sept. 26.
