How 'Bout Dem Girls from Laguna

Here's what I know about Those Girls from Laguna:

Capt Priscilla (can't remember her last name), although affectionately and conversely named Prissy (remember Foghorn Leghorn's chick) by her teammates, is not so prissy. She still only plays singles and is not known for her accurate line calls. So, Rita or Racquelt, challenge her if you believe she makes a bad call and I would appreciate someone from the team fixed to a bench over there in case the match goes to three sets just to help keep Prissy in line...DOO-Dah! DOO-Dah!


I don't think they ever split up the Sister Act, Holly and Heather Meadows. Heather is still a lefty, has a killer wide serve and always plays ad-court, but has a strong net game and Holly can't seem to ever make it to the net. Holly incessantly tries for the same side line, so give her a little more alley, but be ready to stab that ball back (The stronger net backhand from our team should play deuce-court.). After awhile, she'll stop and start lobbing - it's so predictable. Just bring the ball back down or lob behind Heather - Holly cannot return a lob on the run and the net is like super glue to Heather once she gets there.

Sally Upton, a.k.a. Sandbaggin' Sally, is still on the team. This woman knows when and whom to lose to and win to beat the crap out of them in order to keep her 4.0. rating. I think she has an app on her phone for this. All her shots are sound and nothing stands out except for perhaps her backhand slice, but she'll will find your weakness(es) and start chiseling away at it. She's a smart tennis player. Fortunately, she usually plays doubles so you will at least have an alternate target, but I have never seen her with a slacker - play smart!

Let me know what you got on these girls!
