Story by Coach
Sophie Chambers
After the Missouri State High School Athletics
Association extended girls' tennis by an additional week this season
to make seasons equal by Title IX standards, Coach Chambers sought
out one new team dual to add to the final week of play before
districts began. Thankfully, the new, eager Moberly coach was glad
to add another dual as well. While Chillicothe doesn't travel toward
mid-Missouri for sports very often, typically heading west and
southwest, this drive was shorter than the typical Maryville drive,
and both coaches found the night very worthwhile. And even though
the team score ended fairly lopsided, all of the matches were very
evenly matched. This will likely remain a scheduling plan every
year.
The night started off with a resounding #3 doubles win
from newcomers Lydia Bonderer and Lexy Smith. However, the lady
hornets then dropped the other two doubles' matches for varsity.
Next up, the team also dropped two singles matches before Keonnia
Morgan fought hard through long rallies to earn another team win,
bringing the total to 2 for Chillicothe versus 4 for Moberly.
Unfortunately, the hornets would not see another win for the rest of
the night and eventually left with a score of 2-7. This leaves the
CHS girls' tennis team with a final regular season record of 7-10.
On Wednesday, the team was officially seeded third in the team
district bracket in a field of nine teams, so those duals will begin
on Monday night at home in Danner Park.

#1 Doubles Bianca Clark & Keeley Shira lost to Hadley Clevenger &
