The team traveled to the Oakland Hills North Course on monday to play in a very strong field including a top team from Ohio (Inverness). Despite some punched greens, the shorter 6100 yard course (par 70) is still an extreme challenge. Our boys were up for the task and shot another school record 285 (besting the weekend's recently set school record of 288) to win the event and place ahead of Division 1 Brother Rice (291) and Ohio's Inverness School (296). Leading the Eagles was Cooper Reitsma's 5-under par 65 and John Cassiday's 1-under par 69. Also scoring for the Eagles was Sawyer O'Grady (73) and Brody Baysore (78).

We had a nice, sunny, and cool day out in Zeeland Saturday. Our girls participated in their second and last quad of the season. The schools were GRC, Zeeland East, Greenville, and Holland HS. We played a team match against each school. The format was 1-6 doubles, playing the best 2 out of 3 sets, with a 10-point super tie breaker to determine the 3rd set if each team won a set. The first team we played was Zeeland East, and there was some early excitement. Number 3 doubles Emmarie/Kate lost the first set 5-7. Then they shifted gears in the second set, winning 6-1. The 10-point super tie breaker was a heated one with us winning 13-11. Our number 2 doubles Ainsley/Ava had a marathon match that lasted 2 and a half hours. We won the first set 7-6 (7-5) in a tie breaker. We lost the second set 3-6. They gained momentum at the end and we lost 3-10 in the third set super tie breaker. However overall, we went 5-1 winning as a team against a tough opponent. The second team we fac

It was our second match vs Forrest Hills Eastern this time at home. The Eagles came out and cooked from start to finish. We all played with enthusiasm and intensity. No pairings drop more than two games in a sweeping win 10-0. They all did such a great job and the scores reflect their play. But our performance of the day belonged to number 10 doubles Madeleine/Olivia. Madeleine did a great job of scrambling and setting her partner up. Olivia was a force at the net, putting away lots of volleys and overheads. Again, all the wins were notable, and we were all a force at the net today. Our girls continue to be determined, and laser focused towards the last half of their season. They got some goals that they want to accomplish. They've all improved so much since day one, and it's fun watching them develop as a team.

The hosts got off to a flying start when they finished an early effort from distance to go up 1-0. The Eagles would settle in a bit and grow into the match seeing out the first half being down 1-0. For the second match in a row the Eagles settled down at the half and responded with a much better second half. The Eagles would tie the match with a goal from Kaitlynn Trook after she laced home a left footed shot resulting from a Charley Hassenrik corner. Another corner kick would result in the game-winning goal as Hassenrik served in a ball that got deflected outside the box to a waiting Lydia Ydenberg, who lofted a service into the box that bounced over the goal keeper and found the back of the net.
