For the third year in a row Simsmore juniors have qualified for the State Championship!!!

The 18and 14 teams had a fantastic year! Congratulations to all players that participated! A big thank you to the parents for getting the players to all of the matches!

Our approach for the state tournament was to give as many players as possible the opportunity to experience the tournament.

The 14s played on Saturday March 21. They were the number 1 seed thanks to their undefeated season! Unfortunately we had to default a line because only two girls were available to play. The rules for the state stated that each team had to have a minumum of three boys and three girls.

The Simsmore 2.5 ladies knew they were going to face some stiff competition from Canton, since they had lost earlier in the season to them back at home in Simsbury. Now, they had to face them again at their facility and comfort zone, with their coach watching and clapping for them.

Simsmore D2 had a new paring with Sophia joining Heidi. They used their size advantage to force the action at the net, and Canton kept getting stuck at the baseline. Before even 30 minutes had passed, they were up 4-0. Canton made one surge at the end of the first set by breaking Heidi’s serve once, but Simsmore broke right back and kept up the pressure with very consistent strokes by Heidi and some powerful forehands by Sophia to close the set 6-2. After that, the confidence and momentum was all on Simsmore’s side, and they made quick work of the 2nd set. Sophia’s family arrived just in time to see them close it out 6-0 and finish their match first.
