Congratulations to class of 2008 graduate, Linda Kornienko, and the Bishop Verot girls tennis team for winning the District 2A-11 tournament. With the teams tied at 16 going into the two doubles finals Friday at Florida Gulf Coast University, Linda Kornienko and her teammate rolled to a 6-0, 6-3 win over Lemon Bay at No. 1. “Really just the biggest thing is to be consistent,” Kornienko said of her mindset going into the decisive doubles finals. “Never let anything get to you. Try to block it out, just play,” she said of what was at stake. “I didn’t think about it one time while I was playing.”
Kornienko will also play in No. 1 singles at state, having won the district title by beating Lemon Bay’s Jordan Ittersagen 6-1, 6-3. “I never thought I’d be going to states,” said the 14-year-old Kornienko, who has been playing tennis for six years. “You just take it step by step and keep going.”
