Maranatha Academy closed out its girls tennis season on Thursday the Class 2-1A regional tournament at Indian Creek Recreation Center.
None of the Eagles advanced to play in Saturday's substate tournament.
Felicia Goodwin earned the No. 4 seed in the singles bracket and received a first-round bye. She ran into No. 5 seed Maddi Mitchell of KC Christian in the second round and was eliminated in a hard-fought match, 6-0, 6-7, 6-4.
Also in singles, Maranatha's Kellie Mowrer earned the No. 6 seed and disposed of No. 11 seed Jessica Budke of Immaculata in the first round, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4. In the second round Mowrer was eliminated by Marysville's Kiley Schwartz, 6-1, 6-3.
Both of Maranatha's doubles teams also failed to advance to the substate tournament. Bekah Westerfeld and Amber Wallace earned the No. 8 seed. They defeated Maur Hill in the first round, 6-1, 6-0, but lost in straight sets to the No. 1 seed from Marysville in the second round. Maranatha's other doubles team of Lauren Laffler and Ashley Wells earned the No. 11 seed and lost its first-round match to Kansas City Christian.

Point of View
Do you think it is important for Shawnee to be bicycle-friendly?
I think it’s important. I do love and use the paths, but it would be nice to have lanes so we could use bikes to run errands - saving gas!
