RHS Girls Tennis Dedicate their season to Darryl Mason

Each year the girls participate in a service project. This year’s event touched close to home with one of our own. The RHS girls’ tennis team has dedicated the 2010 tennis season to Darryl Mason, who lost his fight to cancer earlier this summer.  The teams’ service project will benefit The Huntsman Cancer Institute in the name of Darryl Mason.  Each Wednesday night the girls hold a team dinner to socialize and make beanies that will be donated at the end of the year to cancer patients at The Huntsman Cancer Institute.  I am very grateful and humble that the girls would take it upon themselves to choose this project for Mr. Mason.

THE REGION TITLE IS WITHIN REACH!!!

Some people say I have attitude — maybe I do — but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does – that makes you a winner right there.

West Jordan came back with revenge!!

August 31, 2010, Home Against West Jordan (3-2 WIN)

Dumb schedule!  West Jordan at home a week later, and they came in clawing and scratching!  Our first doubles team was in for a fight......going into the third set West Jordan was serving 4-3 and up 40-15.  Some great returns on our part helped put us to deuce.......then the nerves kicked in!  West Jordan served 2 double faults in a row for us to break, and even the score 4-4.  We took advantage of the opportunity, stayed focused, and executed our game plan to close out the third set 6-4 and win the match.  Another nail biter with West Jordan.
