Facing many talented teams during their tournament at Wakeland Friday, players on the Redhawks tennis team were able to gain some experience.
“The competition at this tournament was tough,” assistant coach Neil Grobler said. “We had a couple of injuries, which provided a great opportunity for some of our players to get some more varsity-level experience.”
Juniors Krish Pokle and Krish Jayanth finished 6th placed in boys’ A doubles, sophomores Diya Pothuguntla and Minami Numata made the quarterfinals in girls’ B doubles, and freshman Ranveer Awasthi made the quarterfinals in boys’ singles.
Pokle believes that this tournament has helped him improve his skill level.
“Playing players who are perceived as above my skill level is hard for me, but during tournaments like these I can have fun playing these people and improving my technique,” Pokle said.
