Spartans continue success against league opponents.
by Keenan Moore

    The Lady Spartans continued there successful season as the routed the Montbello warriors 7-0.
    This is just the latest win for the Spartans as they had one of their more successful seasons in a long time.  This match had been highly anticipated as this was yet another tough league opponent for the Spartans.  These two teams had gone back and forth among themselves over the past few years and the Spartans took the match last year and were wanting another victory to show who the dominant team is.  
    It was obvious from the get go that the Spartans had come to play as the number one singles match started.  The match went quickly and the next three single matches seemed to follow in quick succession.  Now it was time for the doubles to keep up the pace that the Spartan singles had set for the team.  The number one doubles pair came up and just like the number one single, made quick work of the Warriors.  The next two matches were exactly the same and it was obvious to see who the dominant team was this year.  This is the second year that the Spartans have beaten the Warriors and also the second time that it was by means of a shutout.
    This weekend will commence the annual playoffs for the girls’ tennis season.  Even though it might just be districts, it is still critical to the success of the Spartans as they will hope to progress in the playoffs.  They must win their matches if they would hope to make it to the regional competition.  This means that the pressure will be constantly on if any of the Spartans wish to go deep into the playoffs this year.  Last year, junior number one single Mindy Gidan, fell just short of making it to the state competition.
