Girls Tennis Wraps Up Season

-By Meg McIntire-

DHS Girls Varsity Tennis team beat Farmington at Hebron 5-2 June 1, however, number 1 and 2 singles senior Annie Wilson and junior Alex Budd lost. They stayed in the game beating Hebron 7-0 to advance to the quarterfinals. The girls played Fairfield Warde in Fairfield and won, advancing to play Wilton, but lost 4-3. Despite the loss, the team played hard this season. Sophomore Amanda Brodsky said, “I think I had a really good season…I lost two matches. I think (the team) also had a great season…they’ve been awesome. The new players have been really great, too. The new coach (Mr. Davin Gebauer) really helped us to have a successful season while having a lot of fun." Looking back now that the season’s over, Brodsky gave a rundown of the games. “ For States this year, we won against Farmington at Hebron CT, 5-2. Directly after that we played Hebron and won 6-1. Then we moved to the quarterfinals at Warde and won 5-2, which was an improvement for us. Semi-finals were at wilton where we lost 4-3.”
