In both matches, AHS took control from the outset. Plano fought back each time, but never could get back on serve. Although Gamarnik and McGowan forced Stevens and Torrez into deuce games on each of their final serves, the AHS tandem responded in clutch fashion. In the final game of the semifinals, Stevens belted an overhead to get to match point, and the Lady Eagles won it when Gamarnik netted a backhand on the next point. We may not be the best players here, but I definitely think we're playing some of the best doubles.
Tomorrow's the finals and anything can happen.
I think we have as good a shot as anybody. The win was a satisfying one for Stevens. I think that says something about how far we've come. We don't have anything to lose against the Hedbergs. We're going to go out there and try to show them what we're about.
