The 2018 All-Bi-City Girls Tennis Team is here. See who made the squad.

It was another productive spring for the girls tennis teams in the Bi-City area, with Columbus and Brookstone playing for state titles in their respective classifications. Now, it’s time to look back at the standout players as part of the 2018 All-Bi-City Team.

Columbus junior Mary Weston Courville takes home Player of the Year for the second straight year. Courville was 21-1 as the Lady Blue Devils’ No. 1 singles player in 2018 and served as a driving force in the Lady Blue Devils’ run to the Class 4A state title match against North Oconee.

“We had a really good season,” Courville said. “Making it to the finals was just really awesome. We all fought hard in the finals against a tough team, and I was really proud of everybody of how they fought and played all year.”

As Courville takes home the player honors, Columbus’ MikelAnna Hill is the Coach of the Year. Hill had the challenge of replacing five seniors after a Class 4A quarterfinals run in 2017, and the results speak for themselves. Columbus went 21-4, captured the region title for the sixth consecutive season and finished as the runner-up in Class 4A.

“Coming into the season, we didn’t really know (what to expect),” Hill said. “At the beginning, I think the girls realized we aren’t as strong as we’ve been in the past, but I think seeing that just motivated them to work harder. Their hard work all season long took us to the state championship match.”
