The word from: Marysville-Pilchuck High School
“It has been a good start to the year and it has been fun. The school is not as big as I thought it would be. (Junior varsity) tennis was fun. I wasn’t exactly thinking about joining the team, but my dad put my name in and I’m glad he did. I’m looking forward to playing more.”
