JV Invitational Highlights

We finished 3rd at the JV Invitational, defeating Rochester but falling to Jimtown (2-3) and Concord (1-4). Instead of a play by play account of all 3 matches, here are some highlights of the day:

- Blake's double aces to start the match against Rochester (en route to an 8-1 win).
- Evan's falling down volley against Jimtown, that hit a Jimtown player and led the Jimtown player to pound the ball into the net in frustration.
- Evan Eby's consistent play against Concord, always putting the ball in play and coming back from down 1-7 to only lose 4-8.
- Himal's optimism, as we were down to Jimtown 2-1, and Ike was down 1-6, Himal says, "So all we need to do is win Ike's match, right?"
- Wade's awesome net movement, seriously, he may be the player on the team who most wants the ball. I love to see him hit!
- Jake's slice and dice #2 singles win over Concord. He frustrated his opponent (Evan Eby's cousin) by dropping the ball short and then long and hitting with crazy spin.
- Evan Grimes serving consistency in his last two matches. That progress is what we hope to see this season.
- Matt Ebersole and Evan Grimes/Jake Gerig both winning tiebreaks to seal our match against Rochester.
- Ike Lehman's confidence and willingness to do the right things.
- Watching Ike and Himal play on the same side of the court (on accident) during the Concord match, and still winning the point.
- Ryan Minter and Wade Troyer never stopping their effort against Jimtown, striving to win every point.
