The Flora Girls Tennis Team sliced through the competition at the Edwardsville tournament on september 2-3. They played four teams and placed 2nd overall in the tournament. The girls were saddened that they didn’t place first but were proud that they made it so far.

Junior team player, Emma McMahon, said, “Playing as well as we did is always an exciting thing and just getting to spend time together and having fun is such a great part of going.”

Before the game they took walks, listened to music, and warmed up. After the game on Friday, the team traveled to Olive Garden, which is somewhat of a tradition to celebrate that day’s victory.

Team members that represented the Flora High Tennis Team include; Kelsey Krutsinger, Bailey Pearce, Kasey Jennings, Breann Beckham, Sonae Shelton, Gracey Himelick, Kyrsten Darrough, Emma McMahon, Cali Wilson, and Jaryn Allen.
