About 200 girls signed up for the tennis team. Some are opting in for Blue and White, SM East’s no-cut team, while others are participating in the 5-day tryout process that has only 32 available spots for JV/V team. This process was split into two weeks due to the extreme heat warnings on Aug. 18 and Aug. 19. The tryouts continued into the following week, on Aug. 25 and Aug. 26. Two new coaches joined the girls’ coaching staff this year: Coach Jennifer Lowe and Coach Brian Miller. Coach Lowe has been a part of the SM East boys’ program for the past three seasons. She was a four-time state medalist at BV Northwest and went on to play Division 3 tennis at Case Western Reserve. Coach Miller was the head girls’ and boys’ coach at Kansas City Christian for a decade, and his teams won a combined six KSHSAA 321A State Team Championships. He was a part of the SM East boys’ tennis program this past spring. To view more of this gallery, click the link in bio. #photobysylviedegalan #photobymoll...
