Preparing for individual regionals

Lobo Tennis wins its own invitational

Lobo Joanna Cupp played through a nagging injury and won the
women's singles. Teammate Erin Armstrong was second.

Monahans also won first and second in the women's doubles.
In a crisp, nearly flawless match, Loboes Jeremy Reyes and
Drew Skinner stopped Hobbs, N.M., in the men's doubles but
then lost to Pecos to finish second.

Already the state runner-up in team tennis, the Monahans
Loboes prepared for the individual competition regionals by
winning their own invitational on Friday, April 3.
Monahans is the host for the individual tennis competition
this Spring.

On a warm nearly perfect day Friday, Coach Justin Quest's
charges walked away with the first place trophy.
Seven teams had gathered in Monahans for the annual
Invitational tournament.

While Hobbs offered the biggest challenge to the Loboes,
Yslette, Pecos and Brownfield also had some talented
players.

Finals began around six p. m.

Battling for first place in girls singles were Joanna Cupp
and Erin Armstrong.

"Joanna is very tough and Erin played her the best game I've
seen so far," says Quest.

In the girls doubles Megan Shawn and Lisha Baker defeated
another Monahans team Sandra Molinar and Christina Wilbur to
take the top two places in that division.

Jeremy Reyes and Drew Skinner had a fabulous game against
Hobbs, but fell to the Pecos doubles team settling for a
second place trophy.

Kyle Clemmer brought in points for the team by placing
fourth in the boys singles.

Asked how the team fares with regional individuals ahead,
Quest says: "Joanna Cupp may have pulled a muscle, but it
didn't look too serious. Curtis Gibson has been having some
serious health problems, but he hopes he will be able to
finish out the season. Armstrong is back and looking strong
after knee surgery."

Quest thanks the tennis fans for all their help. New signs
and banners were hung bright and early Friday morning for
the tournament.

Several coaches of the visiting squads said the Monahans
tournament was conducted well.

"This would not have been possible without all the help
from the Tennis Booster Club," says Quest. "A special
thanks to those who helped with the concession stand and all
the work Mrs. Shawn did obtaining the tennis trophies."
Another thanks came in a booster club statement:

"We would like to thank Midnight Thunder for her
entertainment qualities. Our next tournament will be
Thursday April in Snyder. The Snyder Midnight Madness is a
lot of fun. Coach hopes everyone continues to work hard.
He thinks the whole team stands a good shot at going to
Individual Regional Tournament."

This Spring, Monahans hosts the District Individual Tennis
Tournament April 17 and 18.

More from the Tennis boosters: "This is going to be a big
weekend for Monahans with Tennis, Track, Golf and a 4H Rifle
shoot. The Monahans Tennis Boosters would like to thank
Coach (and Athletic Director) Larry Hanna (of the
Monahans-Wickett-Pyote School District) and Coke for all the
help they supplied with this tournament and the coming
district individual tournament."
