Practice begins on Monday August 17th 2009 at 3:00 pm.  You must have your Ticket-to-play IN HAND or have turned in your packet this summer to be allowed on the courts. 

Coach Wrage has to deny access to anyone who has not complied with the packet.-No ticket to play, no practicing with the team.

Additionally:  The State budget has affected us all.  There is a required payment for Liability and Transportation fees of $90 at the time of turning in your Ticket to Play forms. Even if you don't travel with the team, you must pay the fee.  If there is a financial concern, please see Linda in the Athletic Director's office. This is a POWAY School District policy. 

1. Please hydrate well on Sunday and get a good night's rest-bring 64 oz of water (minimum) to courts. 
   
   Bring
   
   your bag with your supplies. 
   
   wear lightweight clothing
   
   ponytail holders, visors or caps-it's going to be an intense fall Weather-wise

Want to help out an "up and coming team"? Need some deductions for your taxes next year?  WELL Here's how you can help. 

We need your donations!  School budgets are cut and we're playing on 33+ year-old courts which are buckled and missing patches!  Please consider donating any amount to the MCHS Girls Tennis Account to help pay for "band-aid" court repairs, balls, nets, score cards and wind screens. If anyone specializes in tennis court repair and would like to donate time and materials, we could really use the help. 

We know everyone is struggling, so if you can't make a monetary donation, please consider donating:
Gently-used racquets, new strings, and overgrips. Spray-on sunscreens, gift cards, bottled water cases, sealed Costco snacks, etc. 
For further information please contact Coach Jim Wrage at Mt. Carmel (858) 484-1180 x3110.

In predicted order of finish:

Valley League

1. Mt. Carmel

After watching Torrey Pines dominate the Palomar League for years, last year's section Division II champion finally has a chance to win a league title. Junior Sabi Leon-Chao is the Sundevils' top player, followed by sophomore Bella Genkina and Lamella Belgica in singles. In doubles, Melanie Corbin and Alyssa Paraiso are solid.

2. Westview

The Wolverines have made it to the section finals each of the past four years, but extending that streak this season is a daunting task with the school moving from Division II to Division I. Juniors Inessa Stysis, Maddie Bouvier and Caroline Zhao are the top players, followed by seniors Kristen Nguyen and Bree Reese.

3. San Marcos

The Knights have one of the best players in San Diego in junior Lacey Smyth. Behind her are junior Karleyne Ishima-Oien along with the doubles team of Lorin Farr and Janelle Hiroshige.

4. Ramona

Katie Hoffman, Ashley Shields and Elizabeth Branco lead the Bulldogs, who are contending for a Division II playoff berth.

5. Valley Center

After going through the first round of league play with some injuries, the Jaguars are healthy and aiming for the Division III playoffs. Mardee and Remy Littrell are strong singles players. Ashley Hildebrand and Natalie Armstrong are strong in doubles.

6. Oceanside

Sabrina Swift and Jessica LoCurto are the top two singles players for Oceanside, while Gina Mather and Molly Reuschl are the No. 1 doubles team.

7. Orange Glen

Like in year's past, coach Kevin Brown is tasked with teaching many players the basics of tennis. The Patriots top two players are seniors Veronica Pfleugger and Katherine VanSickle.
