Cypress Girl’s Tennis closed their season on November 12th, 2024 placing 4th out of 5 teams in the second round of CIF. Varsity doubles Ashley Park and Izampella Gavra fought their way to #2 doubles in the league, with Miia Thomas taking fourth place in the league finals.

This doubles team has never played together, so finding that chemistry was a difficult challenge. “What really helped us to become first in the season was our ability to communicate with each other in game.” Park said. “Our friendship was another thing that helped us play really well together to earn our spot in the league.”

“Ot felt like a lot of relief, and it was nice knowing that I made it to the second day knowing that all of my hard work has actually paid off.” Thomas reflects. Every season’s end means new beginnings for the graduating seniors. After eleven years of dedicating her life to tennis, Thomas plans on committing to Cypress Comunity College to pursue her tennis career. “Even though I’ve played singles my whole life and I’m kind of by myself, I know that there’s a lot of people supporting me, and that they’re supporting me in spirit.”

Coach Joseph Paul stated, “The girls worked really hard this season to develop their skills and improve, and they fought hard until the end.”
