Howe Military Match Report

16-0, now with two wins over varsity teams. The JV continues to roll along this season, right towards the finish line. One match to go, one match until team perfection.

Too be honest, this match was rather a mismatch at the varsity level. Ben Mast and Seth Krabill had won 6-0, 6-0 before I even got back from practicing with the varsity. Matthew Amstutz was also off the courts already with a 6-1, 6-1 win. So, by the time the varsity finished practice, the JV match was officially clinched.

I got back in time to watch a bit of the doubles. One doubles of Russell Klassen and Kyle Miller claimed to be playing poorly, but their scoreline was similar to the other matches. They did seem to be a bit off, but this could be attributed to playing a different type of opponent than on Friday at Penn. It is sometimes hard to adjust between a hard hitting opponent and one who has significantly less power. Austin Loucks and Claude Stickler seemed to be dealing with the same thing at number two doubles.

This was another win for the JV, and everybody got to play, which is important as well. And then we went and did tennis videos, which is important as well. Hopefully, the JV will stay perfect for the season tomorrow when we face Tippecanoe Valley.
