Let’s do this…..
They say every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and once something is set on motion, it can’t help up to build a momentum. The Staples Girls Tennis Team had an amazing 2022 season, fighting every inch of the way. We may have come up a bit short, but nothing can replace the friendship, comradery and competitive spirit each girl displayed all season long. Transitions in life are usually marked by major events, birthdays, graduations, weddings; but the greater transition often come out of smaller moments, when we stop and look at who we are, because each time we see how far we have come, we also see how far we can still go. And that concludes our season. So until next time, you’ll know where to find me…XOXO

The team celebrated their treasured seniors: Allie Francis, Jordana Latzman, Amelia Galin, Sofia Palumbo, Lauren Hess and Giselle Oldani for Senior Day. Coach Jena Wider said, “The seniors are incredibly talented, our roster is very deep and a lot of that has to do with this amazing group of girls. They will be missed more than they know.”
