Greene Central High School is located in Snow Hill, with a population of only 1,595 people in a small rural county. Only one high school, and barely more stoplights. But the tennis tradition is rich, with 2 state championships, 11 trips to the finals, regular Top 5 finishes, and an on-going streak of conference championships that could reach 30 years by season's end.
This year's squad is young - graduating a couple of proven winners and fielding a team void of any seniors. Coach Tim Medlin offered no grace period, crafting one of the tougher opening schedules seen in the State, including four 4A classification schools with solid tennis pedigrees and a 3A #9 ranked Croatan.

Good Saturday Afternoon Coaches,
This is the Week 2 update on the Lady Wildcats. I am sure it would help the voters for each coach to post a weekly or periodic update as the season progresses. You can look at the scores and records in MaxPreps all you want, but that does not always tell the whole story:

North Lincoln returns 5 of the top 6 players from last season's 15-2 team. Both losses were against State Championship Finalist Lake Norman Charter; in the regular season, and in the 2nd Round of State Playoffs (which I humbly believe should have been a regional final match instead of a 2nd Round match due to the flawed winning percentage seeding process.)
Emma Carver -- State Singles Semi-finalist ('21) and State Singles Quarter-finalist ('22) -- returns for her junior season to lead the Knights. State Doubles Qualifiers Senior Natalie Gore and Junior Lulu King each move up a spot in the lineup and Seniors Rachel Fink and Ella Wulhorst, and newcomer Sophomore Freya Gustis round out the rest of the top 6.

Good Saturday Afternoon Everyone!
I just wanted to send a Week 1 update on the Lady Wildcats. I am sure it would help the voters for each coach to post a weekly or some sort of update as the season progresses. You can look at scores in MaxPreps all you want, but that does not always tell the whole story:
I knew that our team needed some early challenges to become the team we want to be in October. So we scheduled 4A Greater Neuse River defending conference champion Corinth Holders for our first match!

Cardinal Gibbons returns 5 starters and 11 team members overall from last year's team that finished 19-4, winning the Cap 6 Conference and advancing to the third round of the state playoffs. The team is led by junior Celeste Davis, who will play number one singles for the third straight season. Juniors Lola Holderness, Claire Stewart, and Kaya Jantac, and sophomore Lilly Heiden are all returning starters who will bring a lot of experience to the lineup. Two freshmen join the team, including Isabelle Lu who will open the season at the number six singles position.
This year's Varsity team is comprised of 16 players overall and has high aspirations to compete for the conference championship and advance far in the playoffs. The regular season will include a challenging schedule, featuring many of the top public and private school teams in the area, in addition to the Cap 6 Conference opponents. Best of luck to everyone this season!
