Fortuna tennis welcomes new season

Fortuna, California

The Fortuna High girls tennis team season started a few weeks ago, and they are all excited about the new season and striving for victory. Although this team isn't the most popular at Fortuna High, the team is still very proud to be representing the high school. They have been practicing for two weeks and couldn't be more excited for their first match. Although not everyone on the team gets to compete, so they have been fighting for their starting spots.

Savannah Houseworth, a first year tennis player, decided to try out for her senior year, so she could play one sport before graduation. This is her first year; she is hoping to get good enough to be able to play in an actual tennis match.

She has confidence in her team saying, “Pretty much everybody but me have been playing tennis for a number of years and they're really good. I have a feeling we will do really well this season.” The team seems to bond very well together, and she says that is her favorite part of being on this team. The Fortuna tennis team needs all the support they can get, so check out their schedule on the Fortuna High page.  

Abigail Albin, a four-year team member, is very excited for her last season on the tennis team. She is ready for the matches and is excited to see how they do. She said,  “I'm very happy the season is starting and I can't wait for our first match in Del Norte this saturday.”  She expresses that they could use some more support at the home tennis games though. So if you can get the chance to come, check one out.

  1. This was the first post to catch my eye. I really like how organized it is and how you interviewed a new player as well as someone who has played all 4 years. In the near future after tennis season ends, it would be nice to see a post on their progress and how they did throughout the season.

  2. This post was very organized. It was very precise and wasn't boring to read. Gave information with very little words which was an easy read.
