LADY PANTHERS TENNIS TEAM POSITIONED TO WIN SECTION TITLE
Area tennis fans have been treated to exciting tennis matches on the Franklin Regional High School Tennis Courts this season. The Lady Panthers are currently a victory away from clinching the WPIAL Section I team title. The deciding and last home match is against Penn Trafford on Monday, October 8 at 4:00 PM. 
 
On September 26th Kayllie Wang, Alex Bailey and Cezanne Tollari (the Lady Panther�s top three singles players) beat their opponents in straight set wins. The top doubles teams of Jen McAndrews and Jen Lichtenstein and Maria Satira and Madelyn Rea also won in straight sets.
 
On October 1st, all twenty-four of the Lady Panthers really poured it on and defeated Norwin High School. This puts the Lady Panthers in a very promising position for WPIAL Team Championships. Again Kayllie, Alex and Cezanne beat their worthy opponents in straight sets. And the top doubles teams of Jen and Jen and Maria and Madelyn won in straight sets too. The junior varsity scored very big as well. Crystal Greenlund and Caroline Carlson initially lulled their opponents into thinking they could win and then snatched a victory with tiebreaker scores. Christina Stavros and Laura Mamo won easily in straight sets. Hannah Cox, Rachel Sobczak, Eileen Rehwald, Lyndsay Miron, Kasey Rice and Rachel Fedishen played well for the team. Kelsey Barner, a tough singles player, won in straight sets. And Margaret Carlson ended with a nail biter, tiebreaker win.
 
Tennis fans are invited to attend the junior varsity invitational tournament on Thursday, October 11th and Friday, October 12th  at the Franklin Regional tennis courts.  It is a great opportunity to watch our talented high school tennis players.
