Add Carroll County’s boys and girls tennis teams to the list of athletic teams experiencing growing pains this spring.

Even though some of the players have been in the program for a while, head coach Juan Fernandez said both teams are still young, as neither team has any senior players.

Junior Sarah McArter, who played number one singles last year, leads the girls’ team. She is currently nursing a back injury, but Fernandez said the injury has allowed others to show what they can do.

Young, young and even younger describes the 2015 edition of the Carroll County Lady Panthers softball team.

Carroll returns two starters from last year’s team, senior Mackenzi Hawkins and sophomore Haley Dermon.

Six seniors graduated and with two players deciding not to play softball this year, the faces on the field will be quite different.

Success for this season’s Panthers baseball team will hinge on how quickly younger players can fill the roles vacated by last season’s large senior class.

Carroll County graduated six seniors–four starters and two key role players–and lost another starter after he chose to focus on another sport.
