The Eagles JV tennis team is back at it with a week packed full of tough matches. Yesterday the Eagles played the Forest Hills Northern Huskies at home. Forest Hills Northern was very talented top to bottom but our guys battled and left it all out on the court. The Huskies were perhaps the toughest team we have faced all season but our guys came to compete and their results show through in their work ethic and improvement.

Yesterday Aaron Dorner and Brevin Ganzevoort fell just short in a 5-7 battle against the huskies. Aaron and Brevin have shown consistent improvement day in and day out and their score against an exceptional team is a notice. They came up just short and with just a couple of points going the other way, we turn that score to a winning 7-5. Last night due to an odd number on our side, Ben Skillen was paired up with an FHN player and they happened to dominate their opponents in a decisive victory. Taking the win at 6-3, Ben showed what it means to be a team player and play with a member from another team, he did so with a great attitude. Joel Van Hekken and Nico Speulstra came up just short in another 5-7 battle. Having been their first time paired up, they weren't sure what to expect, and they were most certainly not familiar playing with each other. The guys went out and competed and again with just a couple of points going our way, we turn the score around to a 7-5 victory. 

Huge credit to all of the guys every day of the season for coming to practices and matches, showing up to bust their rear ends day in and day out to improve and succeed. We will be playing Forest Hills Eastern at Gainey at 4pm, we are expecting yet another battle against a tough team. Go Eagles!
