This is Sue Rogers’ 26th year as a high school girls tennis team head coach, so she’s seen plenty of players graduate and has had to deal with the inevitable rebuilding process numerous times.

In 2016 she faced what she called a “true rebuilding year” at Barnegat, yet her team finished 9-12. She expected improvement in 2017, thanks to most of her girls having some experience, and she got it, with her squad compiling a 14-7 record.
