Coach Macias Proud Of Redbirds' SWC Girls Conference Tennis Efforts

ALTON - The highlight of Alton's girls' tennis efforts in the Southwestern Conference championships on Friday and Saturday at Belleville East was a double performance by Lauren Massey and Scarlett Eades.

"You always want to be playing your best at the end of the year, and I think we are," head girls coach Jesse Macias said. "We played really well on Friday, especially Lauren and Scarlett (finished 4th). Our one doubles team competed all day and our three teams did too.

"Saturday we came out and lost a few tiebreaks, and winning them would have helped a lot, but again we played hard. Grace Massey was unbelievable. She lost in a tiebreaker or she could have been playing for the championship at number five singles. Lilly Schuler has been one of our most valuable players all year, and she had a great run at 1 singles and doubles. Now, we need to focus on sectionals."
