From the sidelines: Piper McMonigle has been the anchor of the 2024 FWHS girls tennis team and it is hard to imagine how the squad would look without her. Not only is she a standout player on the lineup, playing competitively against the top singles players on opposing teams before moving to winning hard-fought doubles matches, but she is also a leader for her teammates. As one of the most technically experienced tennis players on the FWHS courts, she has been quick to volunteer to work with new players, demonstrating technique and even feeding balls to allow more play across the courts. Her influence has helped raise the level of play all the way down the roster. As such, she deserves to be recognized as an outstanding athlete and amazing teammate.
