Senior Kaitlin Dixon is our Girls Tennis team “Prep of the Week” award winner for this year. Kaitlin has been playing as the number 1 singles player winning most of her matches. Early in the year Kaitlin suffered a wrist injury that forced her to play in pain with her wrist heavily wrapped. Kaitlin fought through the pain to place high at the region tournament then advancing to the state tournament. Kaitlin is also an outstanding student in the classroom.

Congratulations Kaitlin on an outstanding career and season!

This year the 2020 Maple Mountain tennis team is home to 9 seniors, one of the biggest groups the school has seen in several years. On Thursday, September 17, 2020 the team held a home match against Park city. During this match the seniors experienced their last region match and senior night. Each girl was recognized with her parents and presented with a bouquet of flowers, as well as a necklace. The night was filled with bittersweet tears, laughs, hugs, and victories. Alexis Call said that, “ [she is going to miss] actually playing the sport and working for it.”

Emma Taylor plays Varsity 1st Doubles on the MMHS tennis team. She is Academic All Region and one of the Team Captains. Her pep talks before each match really help the other players stay focused. She is a natural leader, and Emma currently serves on Student Council as Senior Class VP of Relations.

K.C. Rose has been selected from the girls tennis team as last week's MMHS "Prep of the Week."  K.C. is currently undefeated in region play and leads the team into Region 8 tournament play. Her hard work and great example are expected to lead the lady Golden Eagles to great things at upcoming region and state play. Good luck to K.C. and the Lady Eagles.

Caroline Hickey is the Varsity 1st singles player on the MMHS Tennis Team. Her record is 4-0 so far in the regular season, and she has her sights set on a region championship and then a state championship. She is the team captain for the second year in a row and has been nominated for the Academic All State Award. She will also be named Academic All Region with her high GPA. Caroline is a natural leader and has a lot of fun with her teammates. On the court she is focused and fights for every point.

Congratulations to Haley Andrew and Cassie Knapp for being chosen as this week's MMHS Prep Athletes of the Week! They are the Varsity 1st Doubles and have gone undefeated through the season winning some tough matches against Timpview and Springville. Their strengths compliment each other as Haley has great groundstrokes and overheads while Cassie's serves and backhand volleys are the best in the Region. These teammates are great friends and add so much to the MMHS Tennis Team. They are also both Academic All-Region recipients.

Emma Harlan and Michele Parrott won the state 2nd doubles title at the state tennis tournament Saturday. Their state title helped our girls tennis team to a third place finish. This is the first state championship for tennis players in our school's history. Congratulations!

Maple Mountain Senior, Ashley Lewis, definitely has a love for tennis. She recently competed in a tennis tournament in Saint George, Utah. Twenty teams from around Utah were competing including last year’s state champions, Bountiful. Ashley and her partner, Sarah Vorkink, won their match against Bountiful, which was an amazing accomplishment! The girls won several matches and the entire MMHS girl’s varsity team took 3rd overall.

Brynn Gomez is our girls tennis team number one singles player this year. Brynn has won better than half of her matches in a tough Region 8. Brynn is a hard worker who also shows great leadership. Recently, Brynn helped her team to a top 8 finish in a very strong St. George tennis tournament. Congratulations Brynn for being this week's Prep of the Week.
