Karime Renteria serves to the opposing team.

St. Bonaventure high school varsity was the Fillmore Flashes opponent on the thirteenth of October, 2016. The Fillmore Flashes traveled to the tennis courts of Ventura College to play their second to last match of the season. Playing with a slight wind coming off the coast, our girls did their best and played hard. "Lizzie" Castaneda, Fillmore's number two singles player fought through endless rallies giving the St. Bonaventure girls a "run for their money." Castaneda, along with our number one player Michaela Boniti, both defeated St. Bonaventure's Mel Monlleo 6-2, and 6-4, Castaneda's win being the later score. The number one doubles team for Fillmore, Haley Martinez and Ivette Huerta, defeated St. Bonaventure's number three doubles team with a proud score of 6-1. Yes, Martinez and Huerta were smiling and happy to score a point for the team leaving the final score Fillmore 3, St. Bonaventure 15. I can't express enough times during this season how proud I am of the tennis team this year. Good job to team members Michaela, Elizabeth, Mariah, Haley, Ivette, Karime, Julissa, Adanari, and Breana! It is nice to announce the opposing teams consistently express well wishes to our team as we are "back in the swing of things" in Fillmore. Tennis pal, Sara Hansen reminded me many years ago about the importance of women being involved in sports, as women were not allowed to participate at one time. I agree! Thanks Sara. We have one final match against Laguna Blanca on October 25, at 3 p.m. at Laguna Blanca. Go Team!
