Lincolnshire – GHSL Champions

By far the best picture, I love the matching t-shirts and the smiles of joy on everyone’s faces. The Lincolnshire Club team had a bit of the home court advantage since the finals were being hosted by The Lincolnshire Club. But it was only a little bit of an advantage against Glenbrook’s team. It all came down to court 2 but I get ahead of myself. On court 1, GRC’s Alex Mella and Maxine Mella was able to figure out the best way to take on and win against LINC’s Mira Amin and Maggie Hines. They won 6-4, 6-0. On court 3, LINC’s Grace Chatas and Katya Hersh played against GRC’s Sabrina Mella and Nikol Blinov and won 6-1, 6-3. Each team had won 1 match. Court 2 was in an epic battle. I wish I was there to hear what the coaches had to say to their players. Maybe they only offered encouragement because the scores were so close. Kate Harvey and Bronwyn Heidkamp from Lincolnshire lost the 1st set 4-6 against GRC’s Sara Hall and Ashley Levine. But they remained cool and collected enough to win the 2nd set tie-breaker 7-6(5). With a set split between them, it came down to the 3rd set which Kate and Bronwyn won 6-4. Lincolnshire won 2-1. But if you look at the number of games each team won, you will notice that both teams won the same amount of games. So while Lincolnshire won, Glenbrook came just as close to being a winner as well.  Nice going everyone!
