This week Tyrone/Bellwood girls tennis team once again improved their stats to 9-3.

The girls traveled to Huntingdon school district to claim victory for a second time this season on Tuesday, September 30.

The match began slightly different than normal. Each player was moved up a seat because of the absence of the team’s number one player, Ana Hollen, but this did not cease the girls to take home the victory.

Single wins from Shannon Gearhart, Hannah Klesius, Marlena Wagner, and Tina Hollen, set the girls on top before a thunderstorm shortened the match.

A singles match from Paige Padula was retired early due to rain, along with both doubles teams.

“I’m just glad that we made it further into the match this year; last year it thunder stormed and we had to go inside the school at least three times because of the lightening. This year we were far enough into it that we could end the match and still win,” added Tyrone senior Courtney Kurtz.

While it was also senior night for the bearcat girls, the team also rewarded Tyrone/Bellwood seniors with a small bouquet of flowers.

“As a [reward] for being a senior and the Mounatain League Conference champions, we wanted to give you guys a gift for your hard work,” said Huntingdon girls tennis coach.

The Tyrone/Bellwood girls were taken by surprise at the gesture from the opposing team.

“They’re so sweet. We should do this for the other seniors, too,” said Bellwood senior Natalie Dumin.

The Tyrone/Bellwood girl’s tennis team will be holding their senior night at the next home match on Monday, October 6.
