Senior Daniel Xue ranges across the court in attempts to continue the play.

After ending its season on a 12-match winning-streak, the tennis team is scheduled to visit McKinney Boyd for the bi-district championship at 3:45 p.m.

With the high possibility of rain in the forecast, there is a contingency plan for the match to be held tomorrow at 12:45 at the high school in case the conditions are unplayable.

Head coach Adam Cherry reflected on the lessons his team’s performance during the regular season.

We have played and beat several teams ranked inside the top 25 in the state,” Cherry said. “After losing our first match of the year, we have gone on a run winning 12 consecutive matches in a row.”

In order to prepare for this week’s match, Cherry said the team emphasized the serving aspect of the game.

“Our main focus has been serves and returns this year,” Cherry said. “Improving our second serves and working on keeping returns away from the net person are keys for us in doubles.”

Sophomore William Guo said the team has high expectations heading into the bi-district championship.

“We hope to advance to the regional finals for two years in a row,” Guo said.

Benjamin Nopper, Section Editor
 After joining staff and becoming an editor his sophomore year, Benjamin Nopper is enthusiastic to spend his senior year in the newsroom he considers to be his home away from home. Benjamin walked into room E103 two years ago feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of the unknown‒writing for an award-winning publication without much previous experience. Hundreds of articles and dozens of close relationships later, he now understands that writing enables an individual to have a meaningful impact in his community. A disciple of his former boss, Nick Smith, Nopper retains his position as sports editor for the third consecutive year while also contributing as an opinion writer. However, if it were up to him, he would run his own satire department. Outside of the newsroom, Nopper plays baseball and serves as an FCA leader. Nopper is also a member of Student Council, NHS and Spanish Club. He enjoys embarking adventures with his three dogs, spending afternoons on the golf course, and feeding his unhealthy coffee obsession. Nopper also loves to watch Impractical Jokers, the show that admittedly inspires some of his lighthearted interactions with his friends. Upon graduating, Nopper intends to study business and eventually attend law school.

Heading into her fourth and final year in TRL, senior Olivia Lauter could not be more thrilled to soak up every last minute of shooting sports, events and portraits for her favorite publication. Lauter has spent every day of her high school career with a camera around her neck, and you won’t catch her without it until graduation day. As well as being the photo editor for TRL, Lauter is a varsity cheerleader and involved in PALS and NHS. When she’s not on the sidelines with her camera or cheering on the Leopards, Lauter is with her friends, who she adores more than life itself. You will probably hear “last time, best time” and how “bittersweet” senior year is continually from Lauter this year, but she is just excited to spend one more year doing what she loves alongside the people she loves on TRL.
