Lady Knights Season Starts Strong

The Lady Knights tennis team has begun the 2011 season 3-0, with school still days away from starting. On Friday August 12th the Knights hosted a four team tournament with Orem, Viewmont and Jordan and came away winning the lions share of matches there. On Weds August 17th the Knights traveled to Herriman High where the Varsity and JV teams both posted impressive 5-0 victories. Leading the Varsity against Herriman were singles players Taylor Calton, Megan Call and team captain Torie Wake. The doubles teams of Kayla White and Lauren Lefrandt and Haley Schettler and Sierra Dew also posted straight set wins vs. their opponents.

 On Friday Aug. 19th the Knights hosted former region rival and last years 5A State runner-up Alta and pulled out a hard fought, 3 hour 3-2 victory on Varsity and the Junior Varsity also won 3-2. Leading the Knights was # 1 singles player and freshman Taylor Calton (6-2,6-0) who was impressive in victory. Megan Call and Kayla White at 2nd and 3rd singles battled their opponents for two hours before falling just short. At 2nd doubles Haley Schettler and Electra Cochran played tough and made great shots en route to their win (6-3, 7-5). The match was now tied and came down to the 1st doubles match which went into a 3rd set. Using great serves and tough net play, Torie Wake and Lauren Lefrandt came away with a three set win that took nearly three hours (6-4,6-7,6-4) to complete. The Knights face Lehi and Bingham next week, followed by American Fork, Maple Mountain and Riverton the following week.
