Sargy Letuchy is the girls tennis coach at Bolingbrook. In this guest blog entry, he writes about his team's growth as the Raiders prepare for sectional play this weekend.
Coming into our sectional tournament, we just had our best result of the season. I think our players played with the confidence they worked so hard to develop the last 2 months. To go from 5th place last year, to 4th place this year and from 0 entries in the semifinals last year, to 5 entries in the semifinals this year is a great step forward for our program. The whole team deserves the credit for the improvement.
In sectionals, we have 2 sophomores playing singles-Tracy Brezina and Annie Rollins, and Celina Onyejiaka playing doubles with Ryann Woodfill and Danica Ujano playing doubles with Jessica Ventura.
Our sectional every year possess many tough schools, especially in singles. It has been many years since we have had an entry get through sectionals to the state tournament. However, since I took over the program, this is the best chance we have had. On Friday, our players will be prepared to show themselves and other area teams that they can compete for a spot in the state tournament.
I want to recognize and thank all the players for their time and effort this year. Hopefully, it continues throughout the offseason into next August.
