Grade: 11
Sport: Girls' Tennis
Position: First Singles
Background Info: The Bobcats' first singles player, Holiday qualified for the WPIAL Class AA singles tournament that is scheduled to begin today when she was runner-up at the Section 2-AA tournament late last week. She made a rapid ascension up the lineup from last season when she was playing second doubles for a Beaver team that won the section title and advanced to the WPIAL semifinals.
Quotes from Beaver coach Riley Baker: "She moves the ball around pretty well, she has good consistency and good placement. She's able to hit the corners, hit the crosscourt shots and hit down the lines. And she keeps the ball high above the net and doesn't make many net errors. And she has a pretty good serve and good volley -- just a great overall all-around game."
