Lady Raiders Tennis Team

Lady Raiders on the road to victory
by Omar Arce


Tennis is considered one of the most elegant sports. A "lady-like" sport if it can be said, but the Lady Raiders Tennis team show that sweat, power, and aggressiveness are needed to play this elegant sport. These ladies combine elegance and power to smoke their competition. Raiders Digest had the opportunity to interview Yasmin Garcia, a sophomore in the varsity team. With a record of 13-12, Yasmin is one of the best players in the team.

RD: What are your expectations for this year?
YG: I expect that we win a banner this year, and I hope that I can keep my position as the number one player.

RD: How many matches have you won?
YG: 13 out of 25.

RD: How is the school doing so far?
YG: We are number the number two in the district. Olympian is number one.

RD: What do you like about tennis?
YG: I like the fact that I can have fun and lose my stress just by playing.
RD: Who is your favorite tennis player?
YG: Myself: I like to watch tennis matches but I am not too into it.

RD: When is your next home match?
YG: This Tuesday. It's our last home match.

As the season comes to an end, Yasmin and the Lady Raiders Tennis team will play to the end, point by point, set by set to win a banner for the school.

Any questions about the team? or Yasmin? Leave a comment in the article.

  2. being a captain has nothing to do with seniority. its about experience and leadership skills.
