BEN RAMSEY The Park Record The Park City Miners girls tennis team is coming off of three straight state championships with its No. 1 and No. 2 singles players in twin sisters Livi and Gabby Rockwood returning. But while coach Heather Nicholas said the team is strong, it is by no means a shooin for another title. “There is no assuming this year,” she said. “They are going to have to bring it, because Desert Hills and Ridgeline are rock solid.” The Miners started the season by playing both of the Class 4A contenders in a new tournament at Lone Peak and losing. Nicholas said the teams had a strong contingent of recruits, as well as returning starters. The Miners are not without experienced players of their own.

The Miners haven’t lost in Region 11, but have seen strong Class 4A opponents. After the Rockwoods, the third singles position, held by recent graduate Taylor Matz last season, has been taken over by junior Brooklyn Thompson. Thompson has moved up through the team’s ranks after playing with Emme Phillips, now a senior, in the first doubles position last year. Phillips is also coming into her own, taking a spot as the team’s captain and retaining her position as half of the Miners’ first doubles team alongside junior Mia Rappella. The No. 2 doubles team comprises freshmen Daniela Santos and Lauren Allen, and junior Erin Case and sophomore Frances Laurent make up the No. 3.
