As Crook County's lone representative in the state tennis tournament, Erin Crofcheck is going in with no expectations.
"I'm just going to do my best and whatever happens, happens," she said.
Crofcheck is scheduled to play her first match, approximately 3:45 p.m., Thursday at the Portland Tennis Center. Her match will be against Meagan Resecker, a senior from South Albany. If Crofcheck wins, she will play Ashland's Casey Schein, the number two seeded player in the tournament. If she loses her first match she will fall into the consolation bracket which begins play at 9 a.m., on Friday morning.
"I think she can hold her own in her first match," said Head Coach Lloyd Rodgers. "It's a great learning experience for her. She's not expected to do much, but you never know. She will do her best up there and then have a lot of fun and watch a lot of tennis. I especially want her to watch some of the 6A singles matches."
Crofcheck, who went into the district tennis tournament unseeded, came out of nowhere to qualify for state and once again finds herself an underdog.
"It hit me right away when I won my quarterfinal match at district that I was going to state and I yelled," Crofcheck said. "I think this is a good opportunity and I'll just strive for it again next year."
Crofcheck and Rodgers may have very different ideas about fun. When asked what she was going to do for fun, Crofcheck's answer was short and sweet.
"Shopping," she said. |
