Senior Jasmine Martinez and junior Claudia Martensen are expected to lead the way for the Neosho High School girls tennis team in 2021.

Both of those players gained varsity experience last season and should be key performers this fall. Martinez was part of Neosho’s No. 2 doubles team last year, while Martensen was playing No. 2 singles at the conclusion of the 2020 season. 

Neosho’s biggest loss to graduation was Michelle Lindsay, who played No. 1 singles. 

Wildcats coach Nick Hays noted the team is very young this season, with a large sophomore class likely playing a key role.

Martinez, Dalia Maldonado and Alexandra Olsbo are the lone seniors on the roster. Claudia Martensen is the lone junior.

Sophomores on the team are Lyndsey Doke, Alyssa Evey, Georgia Housh, Cadence Martensen, Sydnee Minton and Lauren Nageotte.

Freshmen listed on the roster are Keely Keeton and Emily Papen. 

The Wildcats, 0-14 in 2020, host Aurora on Aug. 30 to open the season
