Story by Coach
Chambers
On a crisp autumn morning, the CHS girls' tennis team visited
Platte County High School for their annual Lady Pirate Tennis
Tournament hosted by Coach and former CHS alum Zach Keith. This
contest hosts several of the largest and strongest schools in the KC
Metro Area including Liberty North, Park Hill South, RayPec, Platte
County, St. Joe Central, Warrensburg, Savannah, and Chillicothe.
Coach Chambers chooses to return to this high-quality event each
year because it is a great way for her team to battle against tough
competition that does not affect standings for conference or
district, to build stamina with six matches in one day for every
athlete, and to see opponents that do not impact conference or
district results.
Coaches Chambers and Pyrtle both saw lots of growth and
development from their girls throughout the day by getting so many
reps in, and they were proud of the very toughly fought matches
Keonnia Morgan played in her #2 bracket to earn herself a medal
including a rematch of her head-to-head against Savannah's #2 just
two days earlier when the match did not go Morgan's way. They were
also excited to bring three new varsity subs to introduce them to
varsity-level play since the team will graduate five of their top
six starters this year. Finally, after the tough summer these
players had without courts, the team was glad to see everyone
managed at least one win against such highly competitive schools.
Throughout the morning, every lady hornet competed in three
singles matches at their respective rank. Results were as follows:
#1 Singles -- senior Micah Crow -- lost to Platte County, lost to
Park Hill South, beat Warrensburg -- 7th place
#2 Singles -- senior Keonnia Morgan -- beat RayPec, lost to Platte
County, beat Savannah -- 3rd place
#3 Singles -- senior Bianca Clark -- lost to Liberty North, lost to
Warrensburg, lost to RayPec -- 8th place
#4 Singles -- senior Keeley Shira -- beat Platte County, lost to
Park Hill South, lost to Warrensburg -- 4th place
#5 Singles -- junior Rian Mathews -- lost to RayPec, lost to
Warrensburg, beat Savannah -- 7th place
#6 Singles -- sophomore Lexi Lybarger -- lost to St. Joe Central,
beat Warrensburg, lost to Savannah -- 6th place
Then, in the afternoon, the girls paired up to compete in
three doubles matches at their respective rank. Results were as
follows:
#1 Doubles -- Micah Crowe & Keonnia Morgan -- lost to St. Joe
Central, lost to Warrensburg, lost to Savannah -- 8th place
#2 Doubles -- Bianca Clark & Keeley Shira -- beat Platte County,
lost to Ray Pec, lost to St. Joe Central -- 4th place
