![From riding in a Chrystler rental van during 100 degrees Fahrenheit weather to sharing a room at the state tournament in Junction City, Kansas, seniors Macy Garwood and Ishya Bhavsar have played tennis together at Overland Park Racquet Club since they were 11 years old.
“We must have been 11 or 12,” Bhavsar said. “And I just remember we were standing in a circle listening to the coach explain the next drill and [Garwood] was standing right next to me.”
With Bhavsar committing to Pomona College and Garwood committing to Scripps College, their friendly rivalry will continue past high school.
“We’ve gotten to be a lot better friends, especially through the college recruiting experience,” Garwood said. “I feel like we have so much fun because our personalities go so well together.”
