The Varsity Story 

“The Making of What We Are Made Of"

Throughout the day, the Bruins faced a lot of challenges that will go a long way in determining what kind of team we will be as we deal with adversity. Today, the weather got hot, each position on the team faced tough opposition, our bodies got tired and dehydrated, and we began to feel our emotions for all different reasons. These things will happen, so learning what to do when they do is important.

Starting at the doubles, we had really successful days. But not without being pushed. At #1D, Ethan and Malachi started the day with a good match against Bremen. Malachi and Ethan got off to a good start, mixing things up and hitting good serves. Bremen fought back with some good play of their own, but Malachi and Ethan kept things skillful and simple. 

In their second match with Wawasee, things got more complicated. Wawasee had more firepower - bigger serves and smashed returns on dinky serves. In the first set, Malachi and Ethan tried to meet power with power, and that didn't go so well. In fact, they lost the set 6-0. In the second set, we focused on changing the types of points we were playing. Less power, but more guile, more precision. This more consistent tennis brings out the best, and suddenly the Bruins were flying through the games. We won with a 6-0 set of our own. The third set was a tiebreak played to 10 points, and it was nip and tuck throughout. But the Bruins ended up pulling it out 10-8!

The final match was the one with the least drama, as Malachi and Ethan kept up the good tennis and cruised 6-1, 6-0.

In #2D, Jordan and Lucas had much the same story. Against Bremen, they settled in after making a couple too many errors to open the first set. But as they started moving better and finding their spacing, they began to play really well. They won that first match and moved on to Wawasee.

Against the Warriors, they opened up an early lead with good, smart, attacking doubles play. They were also really hitting overheads well, as Wawasee put up a lot of lobs. After finishing off a close first set, the Warriors doubles dug in more to their defensive tactics. They moved both of their players off the net and to the baseline, daring us to hit through and not make mistakes. The switch up worked for awhile, enough to put us down early in the set. As we started figuring things out, we couldn't quite get back ahead and the match headed to a third set. In the third set, which again was a 10 point tiebreak, the Bruins played with poise. Instead of focusing on what had gone wrong, we did what we do well. We stayed smart and aggressive and won the tiebreak with Jordan serving it out.

Unfortunately, the long match and the many overheads maybe took a toll on Lucas's shoulder. So Isaya came in to the lineup for the final match. He'd been a great support throughout the day, so it was good to have him get some play. The team didn't miss a beat, as Isaya helped us defeat the Eagles from Fremont with a comfortable 6-0, 6-0 score.

Both doubles teams had dealt with adversity well, so then it was on to the singles positions. 

Judah had to deal with another returning All-District player in his first match. The Bremen #1S player had only lost 2-3 matches last year, and was back making an impact in northern Indiana with his athletic and precise tennis. Judah came out firing, but these matches sometimes get him too nervous. He couldn't quite get a handle on his game and make the Lion #1 hit the difficult shots. And so Judah's day started off with a loss.

But he didn't sulk. As the day heated up, Judah did too. His next match was against a Wawasee #1S player who had very similar scores to Judah against common opponents this year. This figured to be a long match, especially with Judah coming off a defeat. But he really locked in to his four dimensional style early in the match, and then just didn't let off the gas pedal. He proceeded to grab a 6-0, 6-0 victory of his own, an awesome response to his earlier nerves.

In the final match, Judah was rolling. He kept up the stellar play and the stellar serving to secure another victory against the Eagles of Fremont. By playing with energy in his last two matches, he also saved himself a lot of court time in the brutal heat of the day, which can always be difficult for singles players.

Elias at #2S had a lot more to deal with in the heat of his day. His first match against Bremen had also provided some frustration. The Lion's had a newly eligible, athletic, tall, aggressive player at #2S. He gave Elias problems on a lot of areas and had Elias questioning his own ability to strike the ball cleanly. After a tough first set, Elias was down on himself and the second set went away pretty quickly.

In the second match, it looked like a match Elias might be able to dictate. His opponent hit a lot of winners, but also made a lot errors. This suited Elias, and he was always just slightly behind in a very close match. In the middle of the match, his opponent got a bloody nose when leading 5-4 in the first set. He took a break to try and get the bleeding stopped, but it just kept going. The break in the play was hard for everyone, but when they finally started again, Elias lost the game and just like that was down a set.

But boy, Elias responded. In the hottest part of the day, when he wasn't feeling well, Elias fought back and grabbed the second set. This forced a tiebreak, and unfortunately Elias fell behind early. He couldn't quite turn it back. But he had already shown great character to force the tiebreak, great ability to find his game in difficult circumstances.

And he had the chance to prove it again in the final match. Feeling a bit under the weather, he decided that he could make it through one more match. But again, he faced an opponent who just seemed so on it and like he was unable to miss. But Elias was stubborn with his game. Trailing 5-4, Elias reeled off 3 straight games to win the first set. Both players were slower in their movement at this point, but Elias did a better job at staying with his footwork and getting to the right positions. He ended up pulling away in the second set, 6-2. And this meant his day ended with a win. And Elias certainly deserved that for the mental work he did in bringing himself back to the challenge after being tired and not always having his best tennis on the day.

Which means all that is left from the day was #3S. And that was maybe the position of the most drama. In the Bremen match, Aaron fell behind 4-1. He was a bit timid and a bit out of position and just missing too many shots. But he was giving himself a chance, returning well, and forcing some errors. We built on that strategy to help him come back, and with a lot of confidence he took a 6-5 lead. Then his opponent forced the tiebreak, and it went back and forth, but eventually went the way of the Lions. Aaron had to start again, blank slate, and build a new set. This time, he got the early lead, but it was erased by some great play and a strategy switch from his opponent. Now Aaron was trailing 6-5, trying to force a second set tiebreak. He fought off multiple match points against him, but finally fell and lost to the Lion #3S.

That was tough, because the match had required a lot of both physical and emotional energy. The points had been long and the match had lasted a long time. Aaron then had to come off the court and find the energy to go take on the Warriors of Wawasee. And this was another brutally close encounter. The Warrior #3S player was an exchange student from Brazil, and played with lots of different strategies. Sometimes an almost dink-like consistency. Sometimes he would swing away and hammer shots to the corners. Sometimes he'd lob. It kept Aaron off balance. And it was getting hot! The match continued and Aaron began to feel sick. We thought about pulling him off but he was so close to the finish line. He stayed on, but gave away the lead. And yet, he dug in. He played long points. He raced up to drop shots. He looked like he was going to puke... but he ended up winning. I was really proud of the effort, but really concerned for the next match.

Aaron was too. In fact, he wasn't really feeling good enough to continue. So, another JV senior, Ayden Lehman got his chance against Fremont. Ayden played excellent, really consistent in long points. Unfortunately, that style was a strength of the Eagle #3 as well. Ayden stepped in valiantly, but lost in two sets.

And so, on the day, the Bruins went 2-1, good enough for second place! And a day where we really learned what type of response we could make. We can focus on the story that is true, noble and good. And that will make us into what will be made of.

Who Can Focus in the Moment?
Moments of Wise Play

Remembering Who We Are

The biggest temptation in a match is to try to outdo your opponent at whatever they are doing. But it's best to remember who you are. Tonight in #1D, Ethan and Malachi quickly remembered what they needed to do. They admitted that they were going a bit too big and for a bit too much. That humility and adaptability is a great moment of focus and wise play.

Who Can Have Peace in the Match?

Moments of Belonging and Encouragement

JV Players Step In

Today was hot and we had some injuries. Into that void stepped our JV players who had thought they were just along for a day as fans. But all three of Isaya, Ayden and Sam were ready and prepared to step in if called upon, and two of them actually got on the court. That was good to see, and I loved watching them compete.

Who Can Have Joy for the Season?
Moments for Celebration

There were so many... all the amazing plays of the day have blurred in my head. Overheads from the doubles, passing shots from Judah, balls slung into the backhand from Aaron, Elias rocketed passing shots off his strong wing, pressure moments and big serves... and it was just so much tennis. It was beautiful!

Awards

Cheerleader: Isaya
Hustle: Ayden
Dig Deep: Both Doubles Teams - Ethan, Malachi, Jordan and Lucas

Over All This is Christ's Love for Us
Moment of Prayer

God, it was a hot day that really took a lot out of us, but we are thankful for the tennis that we got to play. We had to meet challenges. We had to dig deep. We had to trust in ourselves and find the true, good things that could help us bounce back. And that is important. We trust Your Spirit and the work that You are doing in us to help us become better in all facets of life. Glory to You, forever, Lord. Amen.

Bremen Recap
We entered the Bremen tournament excited about our competition. Throughout the course of the day, we were going to play three teams with a combined record of 29-5. Two of the teams were district ranked. It was going to be a day of solid competition.

We started out by playing the host, Bremen Lions. It started good and bad... Noah and Judah continued consistent play from the NorthWood match and took early leads. Both of these guys were moving well and dealing with whatever their Lion opponents were sending their way. Judah especially had a nice rhythm in this match, not intimidated by long points. Noah continued his best game of variety. So this was great.

But both #1D and Gideon struggled. Their opponents came out attacking and put us on the back foot. Gideon's opponents really knifed approach shots through the court, and Gid didn't react or attack as well on these shots. So often it looked like the shots would clip the tape, but again and again they came over. Gid seemed frustrated and couldn't get his momentum into the match.

At #1D, we just didn't look like we were in control of the match, and didn't seem like we knew how we'd get there. But Keagan and Emerson flipped a switch in their second set. As Noah and Judah completed singles victories, Keagan and Emerson took their match to a third set tiebreak. They had really started hitting balls with purpose and moving easily and smoothly - not overcommitting or guessing. They played aggressive and really seemed to be in the driver's seat. But tied at 7-7, Emerson slightly turned his ankle getting ready to hit. This put a bit of tentativity into their game, and they fell. 

The match came down to #2D, but we couldn't really find a foot hold in Dominic and Ethan's match. We simply missed too many shots without giving the Lions a chance to miss their own. We made a brief rally in the second set, a habit that I am really proud to see. But we couldn't come all the way back, and so we lost to the Lions, 3-2.

Wawasee Recap

In the next round, the undefeated Warriors of Wawasee were the opponent. Judah and Gideon fought valiantly in their singles matches against undefeated opponents, Judah actually leading in the first set and Gid taking an early lead in the second. But their opponents recovered with smooth and low error tennis to take these two spots. 

#1D again had moments of control and brilliance, staying right in their first set. Time and time again, they  couldn't land the final, finishing shots. #2D went against some difficult opponents, and got rocked back on their heels a little. Late in the match they continued the habit of start of finding more moments of consistency. There were some great things to build on in both doubles matches. 

The highlight was Noah's match at #1S. After losing the first set 6-2, Noah made a strategic change in the second set. As he did, Noah began to see openings for passing shots and attacking balls. He began to find success, and took the set comfortably, forcing a deciding third. Leading 9-5 in the tiebreak to 10, Noah lost 4 match points in a row. To his incredible credit, he recovered and closed out the match with two brilliant points to win the sole position for the Bruins in this match.

Fremont Recap

Finally, against Fremont. Noah comfortably won, finishing up a 3-0 day and putting him in a tie for most career wins in Bethany history. He now has won 59 matches across the span of his career. Congrats Noah!

Gideon also grabbed a win. He jumped out to a first set lead but then became a bit tentative and lost the confidence behind his shots. Despite falling behind 5-6 in the first set, he forced a tiebreak. But he lost that first set tiebreak in a close fashion. He had to come from behind. But his methodical and confident style began to pay dividends in the second set. He won the second set 6-0. With the momentum going into the third set deciding tiebreak, he took a 6-0 lead and continued to control the match all the way to the end. Gideon won putting the Bruins up 2-0.

We needed a point elsewhere to win the match, but we couldn't find it. Each of the other matches had really good moments - Judah changing strategy quickly to something that put more pressure on his opponent, Keagan and Emerson stringing together close games, and Dominic and Ethan really making a rally and trying to make an epic comeback to force a deciding third set. We couldn't quite get there, and the Eagles took the 3-2 victory.

Overall, I really liked the way that the tournament was a great learning day for the Bruins. We got better by witnessing Noah's history, dealing with difficult emotions and physical challenges on a long, hot day. Now we take those lessons and return to our way - positive, electric, and believing in our ability. We've got this!

Let's go Bruins!

I really like the way...

This will be a segment of each match report where I'll highlight amazing things - points, efforts, encouragements from the match.

- I really like the way we celebrated with Noah

Despite a difficult day throughout the team, we were over the moon for Noah's close and consistent matches. Teammates gathered round to cheer for his third set win over Wawasee. Everyone was happy for him as we took the bus home after the match. It was an incredible thing to see us exhausted but happy for a friend.

- I really like the way Isaya helped throughout the day

Traveling along as a JV player and an emergency back-up, Isaya knew that he might not get to play. But he was so helpful in so many ways. He took video, filled water bottles, cheered and tried to get our echo going - that was my favorite. I just appreciate someone who is willing to jump in, learn and be ready for their opportunity. Thanks Isaya!

- I really like the way we play when we just let go and play confident

When we stay in the moment and trust our game, we really play some "front foot" tennis. Tennis where we are in control of the points and doing damage. Tennis where we are getting the opportunities. We keep our heads up and brush off errors. We clap our opponent's good shots and echo out positivity to our teammates. I love to see this type of tennis - and I saw it at many moments today. May it become our regular level!

Prayer

God, it was a long and tiring day. These days can sap the energy right out of us. Give us the hope to rest, to renew, to worship. Help us to come back feeling renewed.

Amen.

What We Really Enjoyed 4: Bremen Invitational

Enjoy Some Highlights!

What Happened in the Match?

Saturday was a gorgeous day. Cool and cloudy in the morning, opening up to sun in the mid-day hours. It was a perfect day to play a tennis match.

Or three tennis matches.

Or three, intensely close and competitive matches.

Which is what the Bruins did. We headed to Bremen to compete against the Wawasee Warriors, Bremen Lions and Fremont Eagles. And every single match ended in a 3-2 score. Not just our matches either, but every match played at the tournament was decided by one position. It was crazy.

The first match was against Wawasee, and our team started out slowly. At every position except for Ian at #3S, we started out behind. Noah fell behind 3-0 and Gideon fell behind 5-0. #1D was close, but we were always trailing by just a game. 

Ian really was confident and struck really solid passing shots and lobs during the #3S match. Ian took the first set comfortably, and gave us one really good bright spot to start the day.

Suddenly, all the other courts began to turn it around as well. In tennis, when one position surges and let's out some positive energy, you can start to see it ripple across all the courts (at least, to the players who will receive it and echo it :-) And suddenly Noah was coming back in his first set, letting out roars and being cheered along. Then Gid was carried by the wave, winning his first game in the second set. And #1D recommitted to sticking close and making the second set a tight battle.

Noah confidently extended rallies and found spots to be aggressive. He got a collection of overheads and forehand winners to go along with shots that his opponent missed. Suddenly, he pushed the match to a tiebreak. Trailing 2-4 in the 7 point tiebreak, Noah reeled off a streak of 5 points won in a row to take the first set. 

Gideon, playing next to him, also had an incredible mental turnaround. He went from losing the first set 6-0 to being in position to take the second set, leading 5-2. Gideon's opponent buckled down in the 5-2 game. The Wawasee #2 kept attacking the net, sending Gideon wide into the corners to slap passing shots and throw up lobs. In a long deuce game, Gideon found an amazing sliding backhand pass to fend off an ad point, then finally finished the game to start a third set tiebreak to 10 points. In the third set tiebreak, Gideon took a lead, but then found himself tied at 6-6. In a way similar to Noah, Gid won the next 4 straight points to seal an amazing comeback win.

Ian, unfortunately, had become tentative in the second set. Lobs were landing a bit shorter and passing shots didn't have quite the same direction. As a result, Ian lost the second set and was forced into the third set tiebreaker as well. The Wawasee #3 really played aggressive, and took a 9-3 lead to the tiebreak. Ian kept working, winning three straight points to make it interesting. However, a final shot fell in the net for the Bruins, as we lost #3S. 

Noah finished off his second set in #1S. And #1D was broke in a long game down 4-3 in the second set to fall in their match. So we were tied 2-2 with Wawasee as Emerson and Keagan headed onto the court. The first set was very tight for the Bruins. We were missing returns, but winning a majority of the points that we put in play. It was a close set, but we lost 5-7. The second set started amazing, with the Bruins taking a 3-0 lead. But then we lost concentration and momentum. Unfortunately we lost the set as well, and the match 3-2. 

All three of the Bruin losses were so close. So we moved on to the next round with confidence in what we'd done well. The next match was against Bremen, and honestly, it went by for me in a bit of a blur. The middle match of a long day can be difficult and at times this was. Some positions, like #2S and #3S, the Lions were just amazingly good. Their #2S player had incredibly touch on his shots, and the #3S player used much more power than is typically seen at that position. Noah was struggling with energy early in his match, but was able to figure it out and get back in a groove after winning a tight first set. #1D looked really good in this match, moving and playing confidently. #2D had some really good games, which were tied a lot to the games in which they moved and focused well. In the end, the Lions took #2S, #3S and #2D all in two sets to seal a 3-2 win.

We moved on to our final match against Fremont. Again, at the end of the day, things can be difficult. We were able to win 3 singles matches to get the final point. Gideon and Noah played well against less experienced opponents. Justin sealed the match for us with a come-from-behind victory in a 10 point third set tiebreak. But again, the match was close and ended 3-2.

That's how many of our matches are going to be this year. And we're not always going to rely on the same positions, but each match each position matters. I hope this is motivated for the Bruins, because it means we could win some epics! I'm really looking forward to some more of these tight matches!  

What Were the Moments of Joy?
These are going to be moments that I saw in the match that were fun, beautiful and memorable! Again, just from what I happened to see :-)

Gideon's Comeback

After losing the first set 0-6, it didn't seem possible that Gideon would be able to get back into his match. Talent wise, he had the skills to compete, but it is difficult to bounce back mentally when you are getting down on yourself. However, Gideon had an incredible turnaround, and actually controlled most of the rest of his match. It was great to see him set a course for the day that was so positive.

Noah's Determination

Noah may not always look like he has the biggest weapons (he does), but he always is determined. Down 3-0 and 4-1 in his first set, he determined to make a comeback. Being that determined to simply keep things alive, get balls back deep, to make your opponent beat you instead of beating yourself - that is a huge weapon in playing tennis! When these succeeded, and Noah found himself drawing shorts balls to put away and making lunging cross court volleys, that was joyous.

Justin's Serve

All day Justin served really well. In big moments, in regular games, Justin could be counted on to put the serve in and not make it easy for his returning opponents. In closing out Bremen especially, Justin found two unreturned serves to grab two of the four points needed to close it out. They weren't his biggest serves of the day, but they simply set him up well. I love to see us use our strengths in ways that help us!

Simple Doubles Footwork

At #2D, we actually played really well all day. This was especially true when we got the point started well. In the match against Bremen, Daniel and I encouraged Emerson and Keagan to concentrate on small shuffle steps, getting themselves to balanced positions to hit their returns and volleys. And amazingly, in two concentrated games they played outstanding, kept the ball in play, and won two in a row. Unfortunately, they couldn't get all the way back in the match. But it set them up well to learn and continue to grow.

What Were the Moments of Encouragement?
This segment is where I'll highlight ways that we built each other up during the match or the lead up to it.

Videographers

I love making video highlights of days like this. But I couldn't do it with my video takers. Dominic and Adam took my phone today and collected over 300 points of play! But my favorite thing was hearing their voices. On the videos, as I culled through them this weekend, I could hear them calling out encouragement at the end of the points they had filmed. Whether a point we won or one we dumped in the net, they would call out each player by name. Teammates like them are so valuable to the feel of the day. And I am grateful for them!

Let's Take a Moment of Intention

This is a space where I will offer a short prayer for the team.

Lord, last week was a long, hot week. So often, we are as hard on ourselves as the heat and humidity. In reading through the team focus again, I am struck by the line "let your gentleness be evident to all." Gentleness, that is clear to see for everybody. Maybe that means for ourselves. Help us to be gentle with what we demand from ourselves, knowing that we are ultimately loved. 

Amen.
