Dallas girls tennisnot without experience By JEFFREY FANECK Post Correspondent In the expansion era of sports, fans are accustomed to seeing leagues such as professional hockey and basketball grow in size. Now the Dallas High School athletic program is expanding with the addition of girls tennis. The team’s birth had been in the works for years, but this fall the team will finally debut in the Northeast Pennsylvania Tennis Conference south division. Sharon Bartolini becomes the first coach in Mountaineer history, a position she is taking very seri- ously. “I have a few things I'd defi- nitely like to accomplish this sea- son. Among those are helping the girls learn to play tennis competi- tively, seeing them have fun and enjoy what they're doing, and cre- ating memories that they can look back on when their season ends,” she says. With some goals in mind, Bartolini has had the team truly work at becoming a team. “Team spirit in tennis is something diffi- cult to build,” she says. “With so much emphasis on singles or doubles, it’s hard to actually get tennis players to think they are part of a team sometimes.” With the emphasis on basic tennis skills, the coach is looking for contributions from experienced players. Senior Erin Cooper played on the boys team for three seasons and brings possibly the most competitive background of any girl on the squad.
