Perfect Senior Day for Lady Bucks
FARWELL – It was Senior Day at the Lady Bucks Tennis courts. There was a big crowd on hand to watch for the last time three outstanding tennis players that brought Lady Bucks tennis to the highest level it ever had. Senior Maria Morgan, Abby Ransom and Alaina Tripp make a impact from the first time they step foot on the court as Morgan and Ransom played for four years, Tripp play three years. All three of them show the Lady Buck’s fans today why they where special players to Coach Dan and Alison Heiser for all these years.
Cowanesque Valley was the opponent as the Lady Bucks won 7-0. It was all about the seniors this match as the three of them played singles and doubles. Coach Dan pointed out to everyone during the pregame ceremonies how special they meant to the team as he would be lost for words on each of them while holding bad his emotions. For coach Alison and the rest of the players it was hard to hold the tears back. But as coach Dan quickly reminded everyone we have a match to play.
For you tennis buffs, Morgan, Ransom and Tripp played 10 sets this match without giving one game up. That is why Coach Dan and Alison just smiles when they take the court. “They will surely be missed and I could talk all night about them,” commented Coach Dan.
The perfect score by the three seniors rubbed off onto the underclassmen, as a team, the Lady Bucks only gave up 3 total games out of seven matches for the shutout victory.
