Boys Varsity Tennis wins Michigan State Invitational

Game Date
Aug 20, 2021

Proving that Eagles hunt at night, the Varsity Tennis Team turned around from a late night at the Sturgis Invitational to dominate the late night Michigan State Invitational in the shadows of Spartan Stadium.  

Fighting some fatigue as the day wore on, the Eagles continued to persevere, winning 7 of 8 flights, and only dropping one match along the way for the entire tournament.  Finishing the tournament as the best player there was Simon Volkema at #1 Singles.  Not to be outdone, #1 Doubles Tanner Warners and Dream Kwon came from 3-6 down in the second set tiebreak to end the day with a huge 8-6 win that saw the team rush the court.  #2 Singles Alex Cook dominated Romeo in his final, and #2 Doubles Cade Boender and Charlie Walters beat a overmatched Midland Chemic team.  At #3 Singles, Lucas "El Jefe" Pinon had a very long day that saw him come back from being down in two matches to claim a title. Sam VanSchepen and Ethan DeBlecourt won a quality match against the Chemics at #3 Doubles, and #4 Doubles saw the trio of Parker Seth/Luke Gelderloos/Aaron Dorner rotate through to win all three of their matches to win the Title.  

The team has a solid week of practice ahead of it before a double dual this coming Saturday.  The first two tournaments have set the stage for a run to the State Finals in Midland.
