North Myrtle Beach鈥檚 tennis team didn鈥檛 make a playoff run last season.

They hope to reach that milestone this year, but even if they don鈥檛, it won鈥檛 dampen the spirits of some of the team鈥檚 seniors. They appreciate the support network the team provides, and the encouragement that comes even when things don鈥檛 go their way.

鈥淚 love the nights where we鈥檙e going to a match and before we get there everyone just comes together and we鈥檙e all just talking and laughing on the bus and it just reminds me of the team we have,鈥 senior Makenna Stone said. 鈥淲hether we win or lose 鈥 that bond that we formed just connects us all together.鈥

She said her coach frequently talks about forgetting the last point and moving on with a positive attitude.

鈥淓verything is new in front of you and you can do this,鈥 Stone said. 鈥淛ust forget about it. Just drop it off. It just takes so much of the pressure off.鈥

Looking at the fall season, her teammate, fellow senior Megan Moritsch, shares that optimism.

Even with questions about the season stemming from COVID-19, they are upbeat.

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to be pretty strong,鈥 Moritsch聽said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e going to push through any obstacles we have.鈥
