On the week of May 5th-7th, the Boyle County Girls Tennis team played in the individual region tournament. After a good regular season, the Rebels were looking to secure a spot in the championship, and that they did! 

After coming off a challenging partner switch, Seniors Maya Smith and Emma Taylor still showed up and won their doubles matches 6-0 both times. The integrity of both of these players truly shone through, despite the last-minute change. “It was the first time we had ever played together, so it was fun playing with someone different.” Smith shares. 

In addition, Smith also competed with fellow Senior Hannah Bischoff also competed in doubles, and they took yet another win, further qualifying the pair for State! Despite other extracurriculars, such as theater and swim, the pair showed up and their hard work truly did pay off.  “I’m really proud of how we all did. It's been a difficult season, and I think that the team came out and we did the best that we could in this region tournament, and that definitely showed in how we played and how far we made it. It was so nice to come together and make it a special season.” Bischoff shares. Next week, May 12- 15, is Team Regions. We wish all the girls competing good luck, and congratulations once again to Maya and Hannah!

This Monday, the Boyle County Girls Tennis Team went up against Lincoln County. It was a warm day outside, which is nice to see considering most of their matches have been cold. 

The girls have done great this season, really showing what they can do individually, but especially as a team. Senior Emma Taylor says “As we go through this year I have really seen everyone grow and with senior night coming up it really makes me sad to go, but I know I am leaving a great team who has really put a lot of work in.”

As they start to finish out their season and have less matches, they will bring up their game to try to get a spot on the regional court. As they keep playing they are getting closer and closer to regions and states, so we expect for them to keep up the good work! 

The Girls Boyle County Tennis Teams faced Somerset in head to head matches. Although Somerset was in the lead in the matches, the Rebels never gave up their fight. 

Senior Emma Taylor says “I’m extremely proud of my team and the younger players, all of them have really come out and shown what they can do.” 

No matter who you ask, they always have something good to say about the tennis team and how it has grown so much as a program. The Lady Rebels have shown resilience, hard work, and many examples of teamwork throughout the season. 

In conclusion, as these girls play throughout the year, they are preparing for the future tennis seasons and their Regional competitions.   

Last Friday, the Boyle County Girls Tennis team played Garrard County.

And won 9 to 0. The girls tennis team have had an impressive streak of wins this season. 

Sophomore Breanna Hutchison says, “It was a really good match with amazing comebacks from the girls team. Almost all of the team was there to support or to play.”

Right now, whether it's cold, hot, or windy, this team always shows up when they can. As their season continues they are getting closer and closer to regions and states. 

Last night, April 9th, the Boyle County Girls tennis team came home with a good win, defeating Burgin 9-0. As the team continues to improve, individuals are also focusing their aim on increasing participation and support. 

The girls played hard, and in the end, they came out on top. Getting more mid-season wins like this prepares them for regionals and State, so they can come in and dominate the competition. 

The coach has had many new players try different things, whether it's doing doubles or singles, or even mixing up partners.  We’re proud of our girls, and we hope to continue to see them win games like this as they continue their seasons. 

Yesterday, the Boyle County Girls Tennis team won against Woodford. The final score was 4 to 1, whether it was doubles or singles, the girls put in their hardest work against the Yellow Jackets. 

They fought against a good team and put up a good fight, in the end the girls came out on top. Even though the wind was racing, making it harder for the girls to play, they still did their best to win all their matches. 

Senior Emma Taylor says “I am proud of my team and what they did last night. We put up a good fight to win and I'm proud of the newer players, it wasn't the ideal weather to be played in, but it was a good experience.” In conclusion, the girls played hard and in return with their hard work they got a good win.

This weekend the Boyle County Girls Tennis played Bourbon County. Both teams put in a fight to win with a lot of tie breakers but at the end of the day Boyle came out on top with a final score of 4-1. The dynamics of team play in tennis also bring a unique element to strategy, like picking a line up of who to play, for example in tennis you have sets. Your best player is set on and so on and so forth. In conclusion it is good for the Girls tennis team to get some wins under their belt. 

Last Tuesday, in a small town rivalry game with the Boyle County Girls Tennis Team and the Danville Girls Tennis Team that showcased their skills and teamwork.

 It was clear that both teams were determined to win, making for an exciting match.

 The players exhibited impressive rallies, quick reflexes, and strategic plays. As the match progressed it seemed that the players' motivation had grown. Senior Emma Taylor says “I am proud of my team and what they did. We all played with a good mindset and skill, it was a good rivalry match”.

 The energy on the court was electric. Ultimately Boyle county emerged victorious, celebrating their hard work and dedication. Proving that their training and unity were key to their success!

Last week, the girls tennis team had to choose not only a strong player of the sport, but also of the mind to play the number one high school tennis player in the region. They chose Emma Taylor, a senior who has been on the team since middle school.

The girls team captain, Emery Herron says “ I am proud of my team and what we did, and I am ready to see us improve! ” 

Having a player like Emma Taylor on the team helped us tremendously!  Even though she might not have won, her PR went up. We are so excited to see her, as well as the rest of the team, play again!

On Tuesday, March 11th, the Girls Tennis team traveled to Russell County to play their third match of the season.

Both singles and doubles were played, with many seniors participating in the matches. 

Both the girls and boys swept Russell Co, but the girls really showed up, ultimately beating Russell County 3-2. 

The Girls Tennis team is 3-0 in the season! We wish them luck in their upcoming matches!
