Laker girls tennis enters second season

Glen Lake senior Belle Peplinski never stopped asking for a girls tennis team at her school.

After being persistent, Glen Lake started a girls tennis team last year, with major growth expected in its second season this spring as the Lakers hit the court.

“I was trying to do my best, but I just couldn’t grow as fast as the people around me were. And so getting a girls team will be beneficial to me, but I also remember people that I played with in middle school who were girls who didn’t want to play on the co-ed team because they were embarrassed or not confident in themselves to play,” Peplinski said. “We can play on a girls team and better ourselves and play a sport that we love.
