The 2015 Bluefield High School tennis season is shortly beginning to unfold with practice in a little over a month. Both the boys and girls team will be starting their first practice of the season on March 3rd. Every one interested in playing must have their sport physical turned in to Mr. Jones by the end of February. The boys are in need of players with experience or none at all, leaving Mark Clap (sophomore) as Bluefield’s only returning player from the boy’s previous season. The girl’s 2014 season was very successful leaving Bluefield High School with a runner-up state championship (losing by 1 point), and also leaving Zoe Nicewander (sophomore) and Molly Lovern (senior) with a state championship win in number 1 doubles, and also leaving Emma Cole (junior) and Camilla Deeb (sophomore) with a runner-up state championship win. All of these achievements have the girl’s team very excited to compete in this years following season. Although, the girl’s team lost three top seeded seniors, Molly Lovern, Alexandria Lewis, and Claire Bailey, the girl’s team is still looking very strong. Returning this year to play as upper classmen are Emma Cole, Camilla Deeb, Zoe Nicwander, and Brittany Holt. The returning underclassmen are Elizabeth Warner, Carol-Anne Cole, Maggie Musick, Autumn Meadows, Lily Wright, and Zoe Colley. Both the Boys and Girls are very excited for the upcoming season and cannot wait to compete.
