However, the Red Demons continued to show their depth as they placed second in Hutchinson on Thursday afternoon Junior Leah Stein took second place while senior Daniela Villarreal earned a third place finish in the singles bracket. Instead of singles being split into No. 1 and No. 2 brackets, Stein and Villarreal were part of a mixed singles pool.

Red Demons finish 2nd at Garden City

September 27, 2016 By DCHS Sports

Dodge City finished just one point behind Garden City on Saturday at the Buffaloes home tournament.

The Red Demons were without senior Hannah Sowers and Daniela Villarreal, who played No. 1 singles for Cimarron on Saturday. Villarreal made it to the championship match where she squared off with teammate Leah Stein. Stein took first place but because Villarreal was playing for the Blue Jays, her nine team points went to Cimarron.

Marin Dameron filled in at No. 2 singles where she also finished first overall. The No. 2 doubles team of Abigail Argumedo and Kameron Lowery came in second to Garden City’s Alexis Powell and Carson Linenberger.

‘So far this season we have had a different line up every single tennis meet,’ Dodge City head coach David Snodgrass said. ‘With each line-up we have been able to learn more about ourselves and grow as a team.’

The Red Demons will travel to Hutchinson on Thursday.

Dodge City girls win home Invitational

On a day that the Dodge City High School girls tennis team had to do some shuffling around, the Red Demons were still able to defend their home courts and win the Dodge City Invitational.

The Dodge City girls finished with 23 points, edging out Hays who tallied 21 points. The Red Demons earned top-three finishes in all four brackets.

“I thought we faced some adversity just because of the lineup change but in the grand scheme of things, I wanted us to get better for October,” Dodge City head coach David Snodgrass said. “Certain girls needed to get better whether it was by hitting more balls at singles or playing doubles. So overall we accomplished what we wanted to do.”

Because of an injury to senior Daniela Villarreal, senior Hannah Sowers was asked to play singles for the first time at the varsity level. The senior won all of her matches on her way to a first place finish in the No. 2 singles bracket.

“I was very nervous but my coach had very high expectations for me so I was just happy to live up to his expectations,” Sowers said.

Sowers qualified for last year’s 6A state tournament as part of a doubles team.

Junior Leah Stein lost just one match to earn third place in the No. 1 singles bracket. The No. 1 doubles team of Kameron Lowery and Marin Dameron also took third while Siarra Grice and Abigail Argumedo scored six team points as they finished second in the No. 2 doubles field.

The Red Demons will continue to prepare for the Western Athletic Conference championships on Oct. 3 over the next three tournaments starting in Salina on Sept. 22. Dodge City is looking to defend last year’s conference championship.

“These ladies have bought in and they understand that we’re in it for team championships,” Snodgrass said. “Sometimes you have to sacrifice individual success to win a team championship. We have four great girls who would make great singles players but two of those girls are really good doubles players too. So overall it’s made our team stronger.”
