Jenae Potter returns volley to her doubles partner Colleen McKinnon during practice on Friday, March 4.
CHENEY - First-year coach Linnea Love may have her hands full this season after losing several varsity players to graduation. But she remains optimistic despite it being a rebuilding year for the team.
"We have a large group of new girls who have shown up for the team this year, including a large freshman class and a few veterans returning," Love said. "With higher numbers, we will be able to have a JV team in addition to varsity. We are excited about the opportunity to build our team."
A couple of players Love will lean on for veteran leadership are senior Jenae Potter and junior Colleen McKinnon.
"Jenae and Colleen McKinnon played varsity doubles last year," Love said, and will likely be our most competitive doubles team this upcoming season."
Other returning players are senior Adrianna Wood, juniors Valerie Hanes and Shelby Rose, and sophomores Paige Lacey and Sydney Lincoln.
Cheney opens its season with a non-league match against West Valley at 3:30 on March 15 at Cheney Middle School.
