Moment of Beauty #5 - Fremont

Lot's of moments of beauty in a match that we swept all positions. First to the varsity, one to Jared Schwartzentruber for playing one of the simplest, prettiest points I've seen all season. A forehand groundstroke flowingly hit to the forehand corner followed by a beautiful backhand swept to the backhand corner. The opponent was scrambling to get the forehand, then had no chance to get the follow-up.

Another beautiful moment to Jeremy Thomas and Johnny Kauffman in a great example of re-attacking the net. Johnny served and vollied, picking up the return just inside the baseline and pushing it back crosscourt. Then a lob went up over their heads which Jeremy was able to return with relative ease. Then, instead of staying back, Johnny and Jeremy pushed to the net again. Jeremy was forced to hit a mid-court volley, which he punched back crosscourt. Then Jeremy had to hit a straightforward volley, which he knocked down the line. A lob sailed over their heads again, but with all the pressure they put on by attacking then attacking, they had forced an error.

More beauty in the JV match, but not just for points. Entire sets without giving the opponents a game, those are beautiful. Ben Mast, Seth Krabill, and doubles team Will Troyer and Austin Loucks were able to close out JV matches without conceding even one game. Zeros are beautiful (when they belong to the opponents).

Moment of Beauty #4 - Mishawaka

Awwww, another moment of beauty report. I love settling in here at the keyboard and describing to you the points and shots that just capture my mind. I wish I had the videos, I wish we had videos, that would make these even more impressive.

Again, three go out today. First to were both aces, one beautiful shot to end a point. Both were delivered to the deuce side of the court, hit with pace and moving away from the returners forehand. For Luke Hostetter, he almost drove his player into the fence! For Jeremy Thomas, the returning opponent kept moving to his right and moving to his right but could never catch up to the spin that kept the ball running away from him.

The third moment of beauty came in Jared Schwartzentruber's match. While Jared served well, it wasn't a serve. It was a rally of baseline strokes, where eventually Jared got a shorter shot. I can't describe very well, but Jared approach shot was a thing of beauty. He swept in for the ball and just swept it into the forehand corner of his opponent. The Mishawaka player had been in the backhand corner, so he hustled and reached for the ball, but it was just far enough away that he couldn't get a clean hit, and he dumped it very short, not even making it to the net. It was such a graceful shot on Jared's part. Hard to describe, but gorgeous!
