We have been working hard on our doubles skills and match play to get them ready for competition.”Poon’s technique has improved players and will hopefully continue to strengthen the players for the upcoming season. “So far we are doing really well. We are matching up with the tough teams and are competitive so far,” Poon said.Both Poon and the players have high hopes for this season and hopefully, they will win league and get farther in CIF tournament.“I think we will do very well this season because we have a strong team of returning players and new players. We are getting ready for our league matches by practicing hard with our teammates everyday and trying to improve our game,” Parker James (’19) said.
