On Friday, October 3, 2014, tennis history was made as my baby sister, Mary Royer, was only the 2nd girl from San Juan High School to ever take state in 1st Singles. (The first person to do so was also my sister, Juanita, a couple years before) The most awesome part of all was that we were able to see her do it!
The state tournament was at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, so we packed up the family early in the morning, let Owen have a vacation from school for the day, and headed into Salt Lake. We met up with my parents; my sisters Emily and Mary (of course); my brother, Benny, and his wife, Kayla; and my brother, Danny, and his kids, Memphis and Kayzee. It was a day of Royer Family fun.
We watched tennis, visited as a family, chased the kids around, and just had fun together while we cheered for Mary. She played extremely well, and even bounced back after having leg cramps to win her second game to enter the final round. Mary hung in there, through exhaustion and pain, and ended the 2014 2A Girl's Tennis Season as the best 1st Singles player in the state.
Way to go Mary! You're Awesome!
