a battle broke out on the tennis courts when the Faith Lutheran Crusaders took
on the Arbor View Aggies.

Lutheran boys' tennis team took home another victory.
Jake Benowitz was 3-0 in singles.
The doubles team of Sean Kennedy and Parker Gatewood led
with 3-0.
Sam Taylor went 2-1 in
singles.
“One of the best things about this year is that we have had a
number of players join us who have made a huge impact,” said Assistant Coach
Braun.
“Parker Gatewood joined us
and now he is playing 1
st doubles.
Mark Lacy transferred in this year and he is playing 3
rd
singles.
Aaron Chan rejoined us
this year and Eric Neuman has also been a big help.
Now for our girls' team, we have had a lot of freshmen
and sophomores join, which not only gives us hope for this year, but for the
future as well.”
The Lady Crusader tennis team also
took home a victory with a score of 13 to 5.
Faith’s double teams of Callie Meinhardt and Rachel Tabor, Kristina
Berg and Vanessa Lee, and Ally Chingros and Chandler Young all went 3-0.
“Tennis is one of those sports that
you can play when you are older with friends,” said Chingros.
Both
of the Crusader tennis teams are doing really well and only need to win one
more match in order to make it to regionals.
