Catching up with JV Tennis

The JV tennis season kicked off with a match against Monroe on Sept 8th. Monroe was short the #2 and #3 doubles teams due to lack of turnout, so OH won both those matches by forfeit. The remaining doubles team, Matt Murdock and Cameron Stevens played a tough match, falling in 3 sets, 7-5, 4-6, (8-10)

In singles, the only OH winner was Ben Pralle, who dispatched his opponent 6-4, 6-2.

Coach Brown had great things to say about #2 singles player Eric Berner. Berner lost his match 0-6, 4-6, but Coach said that the freshman has "considerable potential", and was impressed with the way he recovered after the first set and played the 2nd tough.

The 2nd match was against Lake Stevens on Sept 10th, with the Vikings winning all the scoring matches except 3rd singles, won by Michael Serna 6-4, 4-6, (11-9). In exhibition play, the doubles team of Matt Murdock and Cameron Stevens won 8-4.

Next up was Arlington on Sept 11th. The Wildcats picked up a win with an Eagle forfeit at 4th singles, and 3rd doubles team Marvyn Sionson and Marshall Lewis won 6-1, 6-3, but that was it. Coach said that Sionson and Lewis had an "excellent performance"

Finally, the JV boys traveled to Stanwood, who gave them a lesson in tennis. The Spartans won all 7 scoring matches, and all 13 matches overall. According to Coach Brown, none of the matches were even close, but lessons were learned and hopefully the players will be better for the experience.
