We continue our series of the best sports stories in 2022, as the days are dwindling for the New Year across Northeast Oklahoma. Certainly one of the best stories in our area was again the Bartlesville High girl’s tennis team.
BHS took fifth place as a team at 6A State in May, after getting stellar outings from their singles players.
At No. 1 singles, Maddie Shelley took second in 6A. Shelley, who was undefeated all season long entering the State Tournament, lost in three sets to Alice Hsu of Edmond North – 1-6, 7-6 and 2-6. Still a fantastic season and career for Shelley at BHS.
Head coach Bryan Reese talked about what made BHS tennis special this past year.
Annabelle Kelly was the only other Lady Bruin star to place. She took sixth.
Both Kelly and Shelley played at the OCA All-State game together this past summer, as well. Shelley signed collegiately with Washburn in Topeka, Kansas.
