RAVENS AT A GLANCE

• COACH: Bruce Diehl, 19th season.

• LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 4-6, fourth in South Puget Sound League Central 4A.

• TOP RETURNERS: Sydnie LaValley, senior; Carson Heilborn, junior; and Lindsey Sanborn, junior.

• KEY LOSSES: Natlie Jones; Brenna Bruil; LIca Garofalo; Rachel Wood; and Rachel Wilson (all graduated).

• OUTLOOK: The heart of this year’s Raven squad is Heilborn, a returning district competitor from last season. So far this season Heilborn has teamed with Sanborn at the No. 1 doubles spot. Diehl also expects big things from the No. 2 doubles team of Fawcett and Brown.

“Although I do not see us in contention for a league championship, we have a couple of very good doubles teams,” Diehl said. “I hope to take both to district, and potentially to state.”

• MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Ravens host crosstown rival Auburn at 3:30 p.m. April 15.

• MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Trojans get a feel for where they stand in the SPSL Central 4A pecking order when they take on returning league champion Thomas Jefferson and state competitors Cindy Park and Crystal Lee, for the second time on April 29 at Thomas Jefferson.
