 The Brainerd Girls' tennis team couldn't ask for a better start to the year at 12-0. Sports reporter Anthony Scott found out how the team stays focused going into every match. The girls' Brainerd tennis team is serving up success in 2018. The Warriors are 12-0, but the wins and losses are not really on the team's mind. We don't focus on that. We really don't. It's what did we learn from our last match? What do we have to work on for the next match, preparing adequately for that next opponent and then just going out there and do what we do? Brainerd has been extremely successful over the past few seasons, but they have been overshadowed by one team. Tech is a plenty of power. We know that. We respect their program tremendously. Their coaching staff is very, very good. And we really look to compete against them. The Warriors are looking forward to their match against St. Cloud Tech, and this could be the year Brainerd comes out on top. It's going to be really close this year. They lost a lot of girls as well last year, so I think they're a little worried and I think that we really just need to bring out a game and we'll do very well against them. But the team is staying focused on the task at hand each week. I treat every match the same. You know, don't underestimate. Don't get too ahead of yourself. Just play each point to win. We just can't underestimate any other team. Here we got to focus on each one just as much as they would be like playing Tech. The Warriors are looking for their first trip to state in eight years, and they're hoping that the success the boys team had in the spring will carry over to them. In having the success that the boys did and making it to the state tournament, but the trickle down from that, the excitement from that, it just certainly comes to our season then in the fall and the girls are excited. And you know, we'll just do the best we can do. Reporting from Brainerd, Anthony Scott, Lakeland News. The Warriors next match is tomorrow on the road against Alexandria, and then they'll be home to play St. Cloud Tech on Tuesday, the 18th.
