DOUBLES ration for the tournament season.

From Page 3
said. “It gave them something to work
towards as juniors and now seniors. It
was a good experience for them and I
think the lessons they learned have
transferred.”
Butler also upgraded the level of
competition this season in order to
give Baker and Mueller the best prepa-
“Everything this season has been
building towards this,” Butler said. “I
made the schedule more difficult to
challenge and pressure them prepar-
ing for the tournament. They have
responded with excellent seasons.”
The girls got a taste of the state tour-
nament last season. Their dream is so
close to becoming a reality. One might
think the pressure could be stifling.
Not for this pair of best friends.
“We both love tennis and it just
comes naturally to us,” Baker said. “As
sophomores we made districts and
that helped us so much last year at dis-
tricts. We knew what to expect and
there was no pressure. Hopefully be-
ing at state last year will work the same
for us this year.”
Mueller believes everything they
have been through together has pre-
pared for this opportunity.
“Of course there is always some
pressure but it is pressure we can han-
dle,” Mueller said. “We know what to
expect and we are better prepared.”
Win or lose however, Baker and Mu-
eller have enjoyed taking the journey
together.
“Emily is my best friend,” Baker
said. “When I have a bad day she picks
me up and I do the same for her. We
help each other in everything. Doing
this with her has made everything
more special.”
