Tennis Success at State
This past Monday and Tuesday we took 7 kids to the state tennis tournament in Austin, that was the most kids from any school! The kids played awesome and represented Lovejoy with pride.
Price Smith and Drew Shafranek had a tough quarterfinal match losing to Boerne in 3 sets. Taylor Johnson and Samantha Wendt played hard against a very tough team from Spring Hill but came up a little short. Kenny Sweeney and Colby Seamster played extremely tough and won their quarterfinal match against a very good team from Wimberly. Then in the semi-finals they played amazing against Burkburnett and took them to 7-5 in the second set, they did not pull out the win but I was so proud of them, they played so well. Matt Ford rolled through his first two rounds and then faced a very tough player from Argyle in the finals...it was a re-match from the regional final which Matt won in 3 sets. This time they went to three sets again and Matt fought back after being down 1-5 in the third set. He came back to 4-5 and fought hard but the Argyle player fought extremely hard as well and ended up winning the third set 6-4. Final score of that match was 7-5, 4-6, 4-6. Please congratulate these players today on a awesome season!
