Tennis

Farmington overcomes weather to win at Santa Fe

Though the weather was a bit trickier in Santa Fe this past weekend, prep tennis teams from Farmington and Piedra Vista prevailed in the Capital/FHS Dual Challenge at Santa Fe High School.

The six-team pool play event began on Friday, but snow prevented several matches from even reaching the court on Friday. When the weather did allow for better playing conditions on Saturday, the Lady Scorpions managed to get victories when they mattered most.

Marley Deswood, Naomi Beck, Hannah Jonas and Tessa McCarville each picked up wins for Farmington, as the Lady Scorpions rolled to victory over Santa Fe, improving the team record on the season to 9-0 with district competition getting underway early next month.

Beating Santa Fe was an important task for the Lady Scorpions. The Lady Demons are considered to be one of the top teams in the state, so the win is especially important as the district season looms.

Before that, the Scorpions will head to Las Vegas to face off against Robertson on Tuesday before returning to Santa Fe to face Capital High.

"I'm looking forward to a warm dry day," joked Farmington High girls tennis coach Pat McGrath. "The weather caused delays in matches and it made it impossible to see the other players."

The Lady Scorpions have played 132 matches this season and have won all but 13 of them since the start of the campaign.
