On Saturday the Fillmore Cross Country teams competed at the Eagle Invitational in El Segundo on the Lakes Golf Course. Combined with the warm weather and the humidity the course run mostly on grass and rolling hills with many turns. This proved to be very challenging especially as the day wore on.

The day started with 4 girls competed in the Varsity division. They were led by senior Vanessa Avila who placed 6th in 19:28.9. This was the fastest time of the day for the Fillmore girl competitors and Vanessa’s fastest time this year. She was followed by newcomer Aliana Tapia who placed 20th, in 21:02.7. Both Vanessa and Aliana were awarded an individual medal. They were followed by Angelica Herrera 31st. in 21:57.5, and Giselle Perez 34th in 22:20.9.

The boys varsity ran to a first place team finish besting a field of 11 teams. Leading the charge were the one, two punch of Fabian Del Villar and Erick Gutierrez. Fabi finished in 4th in 15:57.

A note from tennis coach Bowman.

On September 3rd Fillmore traveled to compete at Santa Clara High School. Final score Fillmore 8, Santa Clara 10. Are the girls disappointed? I should think not. I am not. This was a close and long match. I was biting my fingernails as it almost came to a tie. When a “tie” occurs, the games are counted to determine the winner. Moving on, doubles team Melissa Higuera and Maritza Campos played one tiebreaker set and scored two points total for Fillmore, and number one singles player Emilia Magdaleno was hot yesterday, scoring three points out of three possible points! Go Emilia! Heillyn Burr playing the number two singles player scored one point for Fillmore, along with doubles team Rosalyn Diaz and Sofia Cardenas. Doubles team Ashlin Rodriguez and Jimena Cortes won one point for the team. The Fillmore High School girls tennis team is excited that the season is in full swing. Once again I, along with the team am pleased when some of the parents have time to attend the matches. Thank you to the parents of Emila, Maritza, Melissa, Jennifer, Ashlin, Kira, and Heillyn for being able to attend. I know the girls were excited to see you there. The match was held at the Oxnard Tennis Center which is located near the Performing Arts Center. The weather was hot and humid calling for more hydration than usual. I was called to go the court on one occasion to assist, only to discover that a tennis ball had gone over the fence; no disagreement in other words. Coaches can be called to the court to solve disputes or to sometimes help with the tiebreaker scoring as it can be complicated. Fortunately there were no squabbles on the court playing the match against Santa Clara, or maybe the girls are learning to settle disputes on their own. I am always pleased when the coach on the other team compliments the Fillmore players. Assistance coach Dimitiri commented that our number three singles player Eveleen Lizarraga “was returning the tennis balls like a backboard.” This means that Eveleen was hitting everything back! Good job Eveleen! I can believe it as the girls have been working hard on the court getting fit and practicing serves. Lastly Emilia and Maritza hold the record for “thirty three serves in” in a row. The record of forty eight is held by Maria Gonzales from last years team. As soon as all of the girls hit ten serves in a row, they are rewarded with a pizza party compliments of the coach!

It was Fillmore versus Villanova Prep in Ojai California on 9-5-2019. It was a very hot day. The tennis team drained the five gallon Gatorade water and ice container. I encourage the team to drink plenty of liquids especially to prevent injuries and of course heat related illnesses. The starting line-up for the day was the following: Singles-Emilia Magdaleno, Eveleen Lizarraga, Maritza Campos Doubles-Melissa Higuera/Jimena Cortes, Heillyn Burr/Ashlin Rodriguez, and Sofia Cardenas/Rosalyn Diaz. Our secret weapons were Samantha Pacheco, Erika Anguiano, Paola Ruiz, Kira Martinez, Anneliese Asfour, and Jennifer Carrillo. The entire team participated in the match except for one player who had sustained an injury from the prior match against Santa Clara High School. The final score was Fillmore 8, Villanova 10. Doubles teams Melissa/Jimena/and sub Jennifer, and team Heillyn and Ashlin were the top scorers for the day. Singles players Emilia, Eveleen, and Maritza also scored points for the team Flashes. Go Flashes! As usual I was so proud to watch the Fillmore girls participate in this event as this team is quite competitive. These pre-season matches are getting the girls ready for the league matches which begin on September fourth against Hueneme High School. A special thank you to mothers Monica Campos and Claudia Higuera for bringing snacks for the girls that day! The girls appreciated it.

A note from tennis Coach Lolita Wyche-Bowman

We marked our first match of the season playing against Laguna Blanca. This private school is located in Santa Barbara in a beautiful setting as we picnicked on the grounds after the tennis match was completed. It was hot and humid there but the girls held up as they were accustomed to the hot and steamy weather we have been experiencing in Fillmore. The final score was Fillmore 3, Laguna Blanca 15. In high school tennis, a point is won for the team when a player wins a set against the opponent. The following girls won three points for Fillmore: Number one singles player Carla “Melissa” Higuera, number two singles player Emilia Magdaleno, and number three singles player Heillyn Burr. I have to mention that the families of all these three players had made the trip to Santa Barbara to watch their daughters play. Maritza’s mom was there also! Family support paid off! Not to worry, for those families who were not available, I was there to support them, congratulated them when they hit great shots, or even consoled them when the match wasn’t going their way. Laguna Blanca’s head coach commented on the good skill level of the girls. He is well aware of the Fillmore’s team starting from scratch this year minus our number one player. Twelve more girls from Fillmore High School competed against Laguna Blanca. Yes! We have 16 girls on the tennis team this year! I am more than pleased for this number as we have started a match with negative points when we had a team of less than nine players. I can tell you that the entire team was pleased with their performance on the court as several players commented, “Hey coach, I got all of my serves in,” I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be coach!” and “I hit some good shots, but I know I need to stay back more behind the baseline.” This last comment of staying behind the baseline is a daily topic by the way. In tennis, if a player does not have enough time to hit a ball, it is difficult, especially if the player is new to the game. The player will find herself too close to the ball or in a spot where the ball is bouncing at their feet. If she stands back, then she will have plenty of time to get in position to return the ball. Even though I may tell the girls to get back behind the baseline many times, or not to leave a ball on the court when they are playing, during a real match is when all of these things are a reality for the game. Did you know that the girls learn how to deal with conflict when they are playing a match against the other team? What I tell them is, “Try and resolve it on your own at first, then if that approach doesn’t work, get the attention of one of the coaches and we will intervene.” If there is a problem with “calling the lines” in or out, and it is brought to the coach’s attention, one coach (Fillmore or the other team’s coach) will stand on the court to call the lines if there is a question. In other words, if a ball is called “out” and there is disagreement, the coach will call the point for them. This is actually a common problem with amateur tennis as there are no judges to call the lines from an advantageous platform. Were looking forward to the match schedule for next week. The next dates and opponents are as follows: 9-3 Santa Clara, 9-5 Villanova, 9-10 Providence, and 9-17 Santa Clara. We begin our first league match against Hueneme high school on 9-24. I will update the season as time passes especially to inform ALL Fillmore residents when we are playing against Santa Paula! Go Flashes! P.S. I am so proud of the team. Special thanks to the City of Fillmore as the torn nets were replaced this year.
