Laville Preview


Details: August 31, 2009 at 4:30 PM. To be played at Bethany Christian High School.

Last Season Review: Last season we defeated the Lancers 5-0 with our JV team. The matches were not especially close, but it was many of the Lancers first experience with tennis.

Laville Details: The good news: Laville does have a full varsity team this year, where last year they only filled 4 positions. The bad news: I have not seen that they have won a match yet this year. I have seen the scores for a loss to Triton and a loss to Rochester. They did win #1S in the match vs. Rochester.

Bethany Christian Details: Bethany Christian comes off a good week that saw us win 4 matches, 2 during the week and 2 at the Concord Invite. Our two losses on the season still come against teams ranked in the State's top 30. Our record stands at 5-2.

Projected Matchups:
#1S - Ben Mast (BC) vs. Trenton Stout (LV)
#2S - Seth Krabill (BC) vs. Zack Young (LV)
#3S - Mikey Kelly (BC) vs. Troy Siple (LV)
#1D - Austin Loucks/Kyle Miller (BC) vs. Nick Amor/Dominic Lewinski (LV)
#2D - Nick Rebec/Russell Klassen (BC) vs. Grant Frick-Hunter Horvath (LV)

Outlook: Laville is celebrating the first season in about three years of having a full team. We are having a good season and starting to play some real confident tennis. Hopefully that will carry over from the weekend and we'll be ready to play our game once again. Ben Mast could have a close match at singles, as both he and Trenton Stout defeated the Rochester player, though Ben did have a more impressive score. The other Laville players are similar to last year, where basically this same set of Bruin players defeated them at all positions. So, this should be a match that we come into with confidence, because we've had experience with these same players before.
