beautiful match at first singles
against senior Sarah
Jankowski. Jaden did a great
job at returning Sarah’s hard
hitting ground strokes.
Jaden did her best in trying
to move her opponent side to
side with her well placed
slice returns. Jaden took
both sets to a tie breaker but
fell short losing 7-6, 7-6.
Kennedy Northcutt was
up against a very tall and
consistent opponent in
Mackenzie Krieg. Kennedy
is very good at chasing
down lots of balls in every
match she plays. Her opponent
this time was just as
good at playing defense but
from a higher vantage point.
Kennedy ended up losing
the match, 6-1, 6-2.
Moira Sams took the
early lead in her third singles
match against Madie Smith.
As the first set progressed,
Madie started to improve her
game and better used the
very windy conditions to her
advantage. Moira fought
hard in both sets but ended
up losing 6-4, 7-6.
Both doubles matches
also were very close. Jordan
Spidel and Sarah Fastnacht
took awhile to get adjusted
to the wind and their opponents
aggressive style of
play. They lost the first set
6-3. In the second set, the
PHS team decided to double
back. This strategy was
much more effective against
this team. They fought hard
throughout the second set to
get to a 7 point tie breaker
for the set. They ended up
losing the tie breaker and the
set. The final score was 6-3,
7-6.
The undefeated second
doubles team of Grace Conley
and Camryn Kiel took on
the undefeated AW team of
Megan Gucciardo and Jordyn
Cousino. This match
was an exciting match from
beginning to end. Grace and
Camryn came out strong the
first set with well placed
volleys and overheads. PHS
won 6-3.
In the second set, the AW
team adjusted their strategy
and played more consistently,
winning it 6-3.
In the third and final set,
both teams battled back and
forth. In the end, the AW
team pulled out the victory
with a 7-5 win.
On Thursday, September
13, PHS took on Napoleon
at Perrysburg Tennis Center.
PHS won all three singles
positions. Jaden won a
three-set match after 2-1/2
hours of playing, with a
score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-3. Her
sister Kennedy won her
three-set match 4-6, 6-2, 6-
1. Winning easily in two sets
was Moira 6-1, 6-0.
Napoleon is known for
having strong doubles
teams. Alexis and Jordan
played first doubles and
fought hard but came up
short losing 6-4, 6-3.
Camryn and Grace won
at the second doubles position
6-4, 6-2.
Perrysburg won the overall
match, 4-1, to end the
