Homer Tennis
Catarina Kruman
On September 29th, Homer High School’s Varsity Girls’ Tennis Team competed in the first round of team sectionals. Ninth-seed Westhill beat the eighth-seeded Trojans 4-3 at the Suny Cortland courts. Katie Mercer and Molly Burhans won Homer’s first point at first doubles on the chilly September day. Soon afterwards, Catarina Kruman at third singles scored Homer’s second point of the match. Rachel Crompton fought long and hard at second singles, winning the last point for Homer. It was a close match as expected, but Homer will not be moving on for team sectionals.
On October 10, seven Homer girls will be competing in the Section 3 Individual Tournament. Katie Mercer at first singles, Brooke White at second singles, and Rachel Crompton at third singles will be playing in hope of moving on to the next round. The first doubles team of Molly Burhans and Madison Baker, as well as the second doubles team of Catarina and Marlena Kruman, will be competing in Individual Sectionals.
The Homer team recognized its seven seniors at a spectacular “senior night.” Balloons were tied around the fence, and each girl had a poster made for her by an underclassman. Coach Nancy Cavellier wrote a heart-warming goodbye to each senior. We will miss Brooke White, Aliza Wilsey, Katie Mercer, Jenna McMullin, Rachel Crompton, Carmela and Annabell Mooney. Good luck in college or wherever life takes you, girls!
