Recap of the Season at Mid-point

With approximately half our matches completed, we stand at three wins and three loses and one tournament championship. The team has defeated Bedford North Lawrence (at the time district ranked), Jennings County and Evansville Central and lost to state ranked Greenwood, district ranked Jeffersonville and Paoli.

We have seen outstanding performances from Jacqueline Hoolkamp at first singles and our number one doubles team of Megan Jakoby and Kelsey Haas. Alison Primavera had a big win for us againist Evansville Central, Kristin Simms and Sarah Federspiel had a big win againist Bedford North Lawrence, Abbie Shelton had a big win againist Jennings County and did a good job at Jasper Tournament. Maggie Bremmer has played well in limited action so far this season.

Our JV players are steadily improving. Amanda and Karoline have won the most matches, but these young ladies are getting better each match and practice.

We have two additional tournaments on the schedule and several dual matches with strong teams.

Team Outlook

The Providence Girls Tennis Team returns three all District Players in Senior Megan Jakoby and Juniors Kelsey Haas and Jacqueline Hollkamp which will be the nucleus of six returning letter winners. Letter winners in addition to the previous mentioned players include Juniors Abbie Shelton, Alison Primavera and Senior Maggie Bremmer. Additional varsity players will include Seniors Sarah Federspiel, Kristin Simms and Junior Amanda Agtuca.

We have continued to upgrade our schedule with Indiana teams that have either outstanding teams or individuals, new to the schedule this year is Paoli. Jeffersonville, Bedford North Lawrence, Silver Creek and New Albany are some of the better teams on our schedules as well as attending the Jasper Invitational and the Delphi Invitational. Providence will host once again the Providence Invitational with Southwestern, Christian Academy of Indiana, Gibson Southern and Corydon in the field and attend the New Albany Invitational.

With a solid core of all district players we expect outstanding accomplishments from these three individuals and hope they will be able to repeat these achievements. As a team we have an upper classman dominated team and we expect some of our journeymen players to really shine and have an outstanding season. Depending on how these players perform will directly affect our overall record for the season. If the practice and conditioning efforts are any indications of this team then we should be in good shape, as this is probably the best conditioned team in my seven years at Providence as four as head coach and three as assistant coach for the girls tennis program.
