Hi Tennis Friends!

As our Morro Bay High School Girls Tennis season winds down, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate the girls on a great season and thank all those who have helped us out so much.

Congratulations to Sierra Redman who finished as the #1 singles player in the league, winning the individuals tournament yesterday and maintaining an undefeated record! Congratulations are also in order for Reese Tartaglia and Jaycie O'Day who took 5th place in doubles in the tournament. All three will advance to the CIF Area Tournament this Thursday at SLO. Be sure to wish them luck in their next round of play!

We had a very young team this year (top three players are a Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman), but still finished 3rd in league and will be heading to CIF team playoffs beginning October 30. Very exciting to be advancing as a team!

I want to send a huge "thank you" to everyone who supported us along the way!

First, to all of you who made our fundraising tournament another huge success, thank you! What an amazing group of people who not only came to play, but worked like a small army to get the courts dried off when we arrived to find them looking more like a swimming pool. Surfsiders were out in force, as always, helping to fill the brackets...but this time, also coming equipped with rollers, squeegies, and plenty of manpower! What a wonderful group!

Thanks also to our girls and parents for providing a beautiful brunch for the tournament and to Ashley Self who coordinated it all and supervised the setup. And to Jennifer Redman who coordinated and rounded up many of the prizes and raffle items along with a number of our parents. We have wonderful parents and I really appreciate their support at matches and everything else they do for us.

Congratulations to all the winners of our tournament!

Winners

Advanced - Sierra Redman (MBHS) and Logan Budd

Thanks to the generous support of so many people, we were not only able to cover the expense of necessities (like uniforms and tennis balls!), but were able to travel to the Clovis tournament again this year.

Thank you to all those who contributed in so many ways. There are too many people to mention, but I'd like to recognize a few people who have so generously donated to our program:

Jim Muscarella

Ron and Kathy Miller

Keith Crowfoot

Jennifer Redman

Sandy and Jason O'Day

Eric and Rachel Morgan

And lastly, I'd like to recognize our fantastic coaching staff and those who have volunteered many coaching hours to build this team. We're truly lucky to have Larry Gacad as our JV coach and Dennis Bailey as our assistant. Both have an endless amount knowledge and patience. And our volunteer coaches contributed so much time and energy to the cause. Jennifer Redman, Keith Crowfoot, and Jim Muscarella all had so much to offer and we really appreciate their willingness to donate as much of their time and knowledge as they did.

If I forgot anyone, please forgive me! As I said, so many people contributed in so many ways to the success of our program.

Also a reminder that you can check out our Facebook page to get updates on the team and see some pictures from the season.

Please take an opportunity to congratulate the repeat winners of the MBHS Girl's Fundraiser Tournament
Intermediate Division, Holly Simmons and James Johnston, who battled until past 4PM. There will be no
'Three-peat' for them in the future, as Kathy Dannecker announced they will be expected to play in the
Advanced Division in future fundraisers. After a major cooperative court drying effort by many of the
participants, Kathy Dannecker was highly complimentary about Surfside's participation and contributions
during her opening remarks.
