The Eagles JV tennis team battled against the Forest Hills Central Rangers tonight. All of the guys came to fight today and they left it all out on the court, playing with intensity and representing the C with intensity and sportsmanship. They put on an all around impressive performance but ultimately fell 5-3.

At #1 Doubles, Matt Molenhouse and Brevin Ganzevoort came up big in a three set win, 6-4, 2-6, 11-9 in the third set match break tiebreak - meaning that at 9-9 it came down to one team fighting to win two points in a row to take the match.  At #3 Doubles, Ethan Brandt and Derek Jacobsen continued their stellar season campaign as one of the most successful duos on the team, fighting through a tough 7-5,7-5 victory. Newcomers Josh Vande Griend and Braden Hawkins came up big in their win for the Eagles as well.

There are several bright spots as the team continues to improve, Ben Skillen and Alex Amash went down 0-3 and battled back to 3-3 and showed grit. Drew Leonard went down last week with a wrist injury, but still continues to be an outstanding teammate present at matches and practice. The Eagles will play NorthPointe Christian at Gainey this friday at 4pm and in the Zeeland East Quad on Saturday.
