If you didn't make it to the Friday family fun round-robin, then you've not picked up your ribbons from the Conference Tournament. 

Aim to find me Thursday on Reed Field during yearbook signing to get yours.
Cheers, Mr. H.-

Fun and Family Tennis This Friday

We have received confirmation that we can have four tennis courts at Thompson Valley High School this Friday afternoon from 4:00 to 6:00.   

This is an informal gathering and student players and their family members are invited.  We had in mind to have some boys vs. girls team matches as well as parent/ student and or coach/ student friendly games, probably to  7 or 11 points, (& win by 2).  

 We also have received our ribbons from the district to give to the players and we'd like to honor our assistant volunteer coaches, Valerie Hecker, Theresa Kennard, and Brian Petersen at the gathering.  

We will provide tennis players with an information/ reply sheet Wednesday.  Students need to arrange their own transportation to and from Thompson Valley High School.  Thompson Valley is close enough to walk to, and of course, students can car pool with friends if they arrange that on their own.

Please reply if you think you'll be joining us - though a reply is not required to join us; hope to see you there.

Best regards,

Mr. Hagstrom

Student-Family Round Robin Tennis Gathering in Works - Stay Tuned

Dear Reed Tennis Families,

We're trying to put together a final tennis gathering for the year - and hopefully to include a time for parents to play with their children.  Here's the details as I've set forth in a letter to our Athletic Director, Josh Cox:

Mr. Cox,

I've had the brainstorm to see if we can't put together a student-family fun round-robin of games for one last tennis gathering this year.  Yesterday, I talked  to my assistant coaches and they can and would like to join in.  As you know, Jon Sharp from Clark is going to be sending ribbons in from the conference championship, and I've asked if we couldn't provide certificates for the players.  We also need a photo opportunity for the team with the trophy.

The idea would be to have 3-4 courts from a nearby school - Thompson Valley or Loveland High School and have a fun play off of boys' team vs. girls' team matches, as well as parent/student match ups.  Ideally it would be in the afternoon - about 4:00 - giving parents a chance to join in and kids to work out transportation - till about 6:00. 

We would also hand out the ribbons and thank you's to the assistant coaches.

Josh or Debra, could either of you help me schedule courts for next Thursday or Friday the 17th or 18th?

It would be a great, fun family involvement opportunity and an opportunity to send the players and coaches off on a warm footing.

Thank you,

Mr.  Hagstrom

Reed Wins Conference

The Reed Tennis Machine is now the new district champion. 

Reed Tennis won over last year's champs, Walt Clark, scoring 32 points to 26.   On court after court our girls, many of whom had very little previous tennis experience, left the court as doubles winners.

Results: 

Touchsada Janon and Courtney Chavez won the girl’s overall no. 1 doubles team championship. 

Fernando Corona and Salvador Mercado took second place in the boys’ no. 1 division.

Isamaya Hagstrom and Madison Sheets took second in the girl’s no. 2 division.

Samuel Zimmerman and Jack Kisch took first place for boys’ varsity 4 group.

Breeana Dykstra and Ivy Ryan also first place for the girl’s varsity 3 group.

Also, of course, Alissa Hinojsa and Katya Hernblom  remained undefeated in doubles games against other schools, winning the girls varsity no. 4 division.  Yes, I owe you Twinkees.

To round out the day: 7^th Grade LISA Students Emma Maggie-Byers and Nicole Standiford also won the girls JV no. 1 division. 

Congratulations to all the Reed girls and boys - persevering and good sports - on a day they represented themselves and Reed in a great way.

Thank you also to assistant coach Theresa Knnard.  She’s got our school’s newest victory trophy on display in the main office.

Tennis players, don’t forget, our final fun practice will be this Wed. at 3:00, here at Reed.
If you wish, bring water balloons, we're having freeze tag, capture the flag, and a water balloon toss.
 

Thank you,

Mr. Hagstrom
