February 25th, 2025, the kids had a tennis match vs Bolles. The Bolles team is always strong and we expected to see some very tough matches. Genie, Amanda, and Graydon came to cheer on our teams and they got to see some great tennis.
The Bolles team brought a lot of players, and although Paige wasn't in the official lineup, she had an opportunity to play a practice match against one of the Bolles girls and won.
Connor played line 2 doubles with Mikey and it was a back and forth battle. It came down to a tiebreaker and our team won it 10-8.
Connor's singles match was a battle as well. I don't believe I've ever seen him play as well as he did. He was already exhausted after their grueling doubles match, and his opponent was as well. His opponent actually stumbled and fell at one point late in the match and had to take a long medical timeout to recover.
I posted a couple of videos. The first is just a representative point, that was fairly typical of the match. Lots of ground strokes and movement, and a lot of work to win a point. The second video is the final point of the match.
We are happy for both the kids, great work!
