THIS WEEK’S HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS:

GIRLS’ TENNISWhen Pine Creek hosts Palmer at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, the spotlight will be on the No. 1 singles clash between Palmer sophomore Adrianna Wojakowska, the 2008 Class 5A No. 2 singles state champion, and Eagles senior Ryann Warner (2-0), who won the Class 4A No. 2 singles state title in 2006.

“She’s currently undefeated this season,” Eagles coach Dave Lehman said. “She’s playing real well. I expect a great match between her and Adrianna.”

“I don’t think Adrianna has much experience against her, if any,” Palmer coach Holly Strack said. “It will be a tough match.”

Wojakowska is 4-1, losing to Cheyenne Mountain standout Kristina Barber.

“As the season goes on, she is picking up her game,” Strack said.

Other matches to watch are Pine Creek’s Julia Hubbard (2-0) vs. Palmer’s Kelly Anderson (3-1) at No. 2 singles and Palmer’s Emily Lawrence, a Coronado transfer making her debut at No. 3.

“Pine Creek, they’re just tough,” Strack said. “Singles are definitely where our strengths lie.”

GIRLS’ SOCCERThe Classical Academy visits Manitou Springs at 6 p.m. Fridayand brings a high-powered offense. The Titans have outscored opponents 34-1.

Titans junior Shea Haycock has tallied four goals twice this season and sophomore Amara Nagle scored four in a row in Saturday’s 9-0 romp over Pikes Peak Christian.

“They’re just a solid overall team,” Titans coach Mike Fox said of Manitou Springs.
