On Saturday afternoon the Boiling Springs girls tennis team accomplished a feat that has alluded them the past three years when they captured the 2021 Highway 221 Season Opener tennis tournament at Dorman High School.
Boiling Springs coach Jill Cooke said being able to bring the championship back to Boiling Springs again is a great feeling. "It feels amazing to have that trophy back in our hands and going back in our trophy case," said Cooke. "Our girls have worked hard all summer long and their hard work has paid off." The Bulldogs secured the championship by defeating Dorman 4-2 in the final match of the day after defeating Woodruff 5-1 and Southside Christian 4-2 earlier in the day. Coach Cooke said she couldn't measure how proud she was of her team's effort to win the championship. "It's unmeasurable how proud I am of this team," said Cooke. "They were tired and hot but they dug deep to win that championship. We lost a lot of players a few years ago but this team has stayed together and worked hard to get back to this point." Cooke said winning the championship on Saturday gives herself and her team a lot of confidence as they head into the regular season. "It gives me great confidence going into the season," said Cooke. "I'm very confident that we're going to have a great season. I know we're going to have some tough matches this season but to be able to beat Dorman for the championship is a pretty significant victory. It just boosts our whole team confidence because they know they accomplished something significant. They know if we can win that there's not any other games we can't win if we play our best." Boiling Springs will kick off their 2021 regular season in a home match against fellow district school Chesnee on August 31st. Comments are closed.
