Waynesville just barely fell to West Plains on Tuesday, 4-5. In some matches, the winner is declared very early in the match. This match was a fight all the way up until our last girl walked off the court. We saw singles wins from Lindzie King (soph.), Paige Massey (sr.), and Randi Anderlik (sr.). Lindzie and Paige also joined together for a win in doubles as well. All of these girls went out determined for a win and that's exactly what they got. Paige Massey didn't let her opponent get ahead of her. She very quickly started racking up game points and came out with a lead, 8-1. Kaitlynn Wagner (jr.) played in the longest match of the night, just barely falling 4-8. The score doesn't reflect just how close her match really was. Every point was a battle. Unfortunately, West Plains took the advantage on those tight, deuce-filled games. Down a player Tuesday night, Mollie Henry (soph.) and Emaily Martin (jr.) both stepped up a spot on the roster and played well in their new position. We're learning to be more aggressive and try to work towards the front of the court. The stronger we become there, the stronger we will become overall.
