We were defeated at the hands of the Nation Ford Falcons tonight by score of 2-5. We stand at 4-3 overall and 1-2 in our region.
Maggie Orr had a strong showing at 2 singles and came away with a straight set win.
Ruth Anne Burnette played neck and neck in the first set at 3 singles. She set it on cruise control in the second and never let up to close out the match with a 6-0 score in that set.
We'll have some much needed practice tomorrow after 3 straight matches. Our next match is home against Clover on Thursday.
Go Trojans!

Northwestern defeated by Fort Mill
We took a quick trip up to neighboring Fort Mill tonight to test ourselves against our second region rival this season. Although we were defeated 5-2 by the Yellow Jackets, there were several highlights of the evening. As a team, we stand at 4-2 overall and 1-1 in region.
Ruth Anne Burnette staged a huge come from behind win at 3 singles. After dropping the first set 6-2 and seemingly frustrated by her hard-hitting opponent, Ruth Anne came back to outplay her opponent with a very consistent and steady strategy in the second set to claim a commanding 6-2 win in the second. With the match tied, the girls played off a 10-point tiebreak to decide the match. Ruth Anne went up ahead early and held off her opponent for a score of 10-7 to claim the victory for us (although, she'll tell anyone it took 11 points to win it).
Our 1 doubles team of Maggie Orr and Chandler Green thoroughly impressed me with the way they played together tonight. Normally, it is me summoning the players to the side to discuss strategy. However, Maggie called over to me to ask about changing some things up. Not only was I impressed that she and Chandler were planning their attack, but they also made a correct adjustment to the way they played both players back on serve that ended up being a huge advantage and probably the reason they held serve so well throughout and thus won the proset 8-5.
Also, even in defeat, I loved the never say die attitude that Katie Lowery played with tonight. The first set went by in a flurry and Katie dropped it 6-0. At a point when some might have thrown in the towel and given up, Katie fought point for point back into the match and nearly forced a tiebreak as well.
Maggie had a heartbreaker at 2 singles. Playing an opponent that is long and consistent, Maggie dropped a close first set 7-6 after a tiebreak. Rejuvinated and capitalizing on some errors by her opponent, she blew her opponent away 6-1 in the second set. The tiebreaker got away from her early and she was not able to overcome an early deficit and ended up dropping a close one. I see this one going our way the next time around.
We'll head back up to Fort Mill tomorrow to play Nation Ford High School in our third region match of the year.
Go Trojans!

Northewestern defeats Gaffney to open Region 3 AAAA play
We ventured to the furthest reaches of our region tonight to play Gaffney in our region opener. All lines were successful tonight as we completed the sweep 7-0 as a team.
Ruth Anne Burnette started it off for us tonight completing a dominant 6-0, 6-0 win at 3 singles.
Our second line victory came courtesy of Maggie Orr at 2 singles. Maggie also claimed the first set 6-0 and went on to play it out to 6-2 in the second.
The 2 doubles line concluded next with Kayla Stogner and Courtney Cox win. The first set happened so quick that I pretty much missed it, but the second set went a little longer as the girls held on for a 6-0, 6-3 win.
The clinching line was Joanna Kohn at 4 singles tonight. After blitzing ahead to a 5-0 lead in the first set, Joanna battled some to win the first set 6-2. The second set started out even as well, but Joanna went back on a hot streak to win 6-1 and seal another win for the Trojans.
Katie Lowery secured another win for us at 5 singles. Katie came up with some good put-away shots to claim her victory 6-2, 6-2. And yes, Katie, I saw you get pegged in the belly when you were at the net in the second set.
Chandler Green was next to clear the courts at 1 singles. Chandler was down in the first set 4-5 and returning serve which had us all a little nervous. She broke her opponents serve, then held and broke again to win the first set 7-5. She kept that momentum going and won the first 5 games of the second set and concluded with a dominant 6-1 second set win.
Chandler then teamed up with Ruth Anne to play out a proset at 1 doubles. They went up early and kept it up to close out our sweep of Gaffney with an 8-3 win.
We looked very good in the JV match ups as well. Recording wins in singles were: Randi Honeycutt (6-1, 6-2), Hillary Tindall (8-0), Emily Edwards (8-2), Lauren Cox (8-1), Erin Brooks (8-2), and Emily Cramer (6-2). Katherine Keener & Allison Jenkins teamed up for a doubles win also winning by score of 8-2.
Overall, a good showing for us and a welcomed victory to open our region play. We are off from practice tomorrow and will face off against Fort Mill on Monday in our make up match. The bus will leave at 4:15 as we take on our second region opponent.
Go Trojans!

Lancaster defeats Trojans
We faced some stiff competition from Lancaster tonight. They are a team that plays pretty strong from top to bottom and are probably the hot team in the area so far this year. They have recorded wins over Fort Mill and Clover thus far and look to be clicking on all cylinders right now.
We had a couple close matches with Maggie Orr at 2 singles and our 2 doubles team of Kayla Stogner & Courtney Cox, but for the most part we struggled to win games consistently. I hope that we all remember these results today and take pride the next time around in having a stronger all around showing and securing a team win.
On the plus side tonight, things look bright in our future as we were successful in many of our JV matches against Lancaster. Hillary Tindall & Emily Edwards had a dominant 8-2 win in doubles. Allison Jenkins also was successful with an 8-3 singles victory. Katherine Keener was also successful in notching a singles W with an 8-2 score. And to clinch a JV victory for us by team score of 4-2 were Erin Brooks and Caroline Herron in a close match that was decided 9-7 in the end for the Trojans.
We'll regroup and head over to Gaffney tomorrow for our first Region match of the year.
Go Trojans!

Fort Mill match rained out
Around 2:00 today I communicated with Fort Mill's coach regarding the weather tonight and it looked like the skies were going to clear for us. Then as I drove to school around 3:00, I got a bad feeling as my windshield covered in mist.
Fort Mill's coach called me after school let out and confirmed the weather changed on them as well and they had to cancel tonight's match due to unplayable courts. The match has been rescheduled to be played on Monday 9/22 at Fort Mill.
Also, since the Stogner's had already purchased goodies for tonight, we are going to bump everyone back a day in snack assignments. Stogners have tomorrow, Honeycutts have Thursday and Kohns will have Monday. On Tuesday, we can resume normal snack operations.
See everyone tomorrow as we host Lancaster....Go Trojans!

Northwestern continues win streak with 6-1 victory over South Pointe.
The skies again threatened rain all afternoon, but cooperated enough for us to get in a match and another win to remain unbeaten in 2008. As I mentioned after the match, we travel to Fort Mill on Tuesday to play our first Region 3AAAA match against a team that will be very talented top to bottom and we need to be ready to give a great effort to continue winning matches.
Ruth Anne Burnette went out on fire tonight and blitzed through her opponent at line 3 singles to claim our first line victory of the night. Dominant from beginning to end, Ruth Anne recorded a shutout 6-0, 6-0.
Maggie Orr was next to claim a line for us at 2 singles. Knowing her opponent personally, I was very impressed with how consistent Maggie played and intelligently let the action come to her. The result was a terrific win by score of 6-1, 6-1.
Joanna Kohn played very well also at line 4 singles. An impressive first set score of 6-1 was followed up with a shutout 6-0 in the second.
Our clinching point came courtesy of Katie Lowery at 5 singles. Katie had to display great patience in her match and wait for some high bouncing balls to execute on. After some early errors in the tight first set, Katie then rolled to a 6-0 final set score for our clinching point in her first varsity action of the season.
Our 2 doubles line of Kayla Stogner and Courtney Cox played a solid first set and claimed it by score of 6-2. The second set was headed in the wrong direction, but the girls held strong to make a comeback and claim our 5th point.
Chandler Green had a tussle at 1 singles tonight that turned into a mini-marathon. The first set played out dead even until South Pointe broke serve to claim the first set 7-5. Chandler went up quick in the second set, but South Pointe's player staged a strong comeback and made some tough shots to take the set and match from us.
Maggie and Ruth Anne teamed up for the 1 doubles point tonight. Early on, it was tight as we trailed by a service break 3-2. The girls played very well after that and won 6 of the next 8 games to claim the proset 8-5.
We are off from practice tomorrow and will be back after it on Monday at practice to prepare for our first region match. As proud as we should be of our start thus far, we cannot afford to let down the rest of the way. Please take some time over the weekend to get some swings in on your own and continue to run and condition on your own.
Go Trojans!

Northwestern completes sweep of Rock Hill
We started our home campaign off with a victory over Rock Hill High tonight. I was nervous entering the match that we might have a letdown after beating them last Thursday, but the girls played very well and held firm to complete the sweep of our cross town rival. Let's hope the football team follows our lead on Friday!
Brittany Whitrock again wasted no time in her victory for our first point. She eliminated many unforced errors and made quick work of her opponent again with a closer score of 6-1, 6-2.
Ruth Anne Burnette again had the headband kickin' and again was successful in a fairly dominant win. The match had some long rallies and Ruth Anne held firm to secure a 6-2, 6-1 victory.
Kayla Stogner and Courtney Cox teamed up again and were successful again at the 2 doubles line. After a close firs set 6-2 win, the girls played extremely strong to go up 5-0 before closing it out 6-2.
Joanna Kohn clinched the overall match for us as the skies darkened above. Rock Hill's #5 put up a really good fight and made Joanna earn the victory in the end. She finished out strong to clinch our decisive 4th point.
Chandler Green again had a tough one against Rock Hill's 1 singles player. Even despite the result, Chandler played tough and made her opponent earn points and gave very little away. We are all confident that Chandler is going to use these last two matches as stepping stones to the rest of the season.
Maggie Orr played 2 singles again and got off to a blitzing start to post a bagel on her opponent in the first set. The second set made us all nervous and I was happy to see the whole team pull together to cheer Maggie on to victory in the second set 6-4.
We decided not to play a 1 doubles point due to the black clouds overhead. I don't like to do this as I like to see the team play as much doubles as we can. I was even more perturbed when the skies cleared up to a pretty blue sky within minutes of us making this decision. That's the way it happens sometimes.
We'll hopefully practice tomorrow in preparation for South Pointe on Thursday. I'll call Ruth Anne if the weather turns on us, but we'll hope it stays clear until 7 for us.
Go Trojans!
