I'd like to commend our players for their showing yesterday at the Hudsonville Invitational this past Saturday.  They chose to work hard with persistence against an extremely strong line up of teams in adverse heat conditions. Teams like Rockford, Hudsonville, West Ottawa, and EGR brought a level of competition we had not yet seen this season, and I am pleased with how we stacked up against them yesterday.  There are technical and strategic elements we can improve on and we'll address those in practice, but If we continue to work hard, I believe our team has the mental game and ability to surprise a team like Hudsonville when we see them at the end of this season.  A huge thank you to parents and the family's of our team who came out to support, and kept our guys fed and hydrated through out the day.  You are an integral part of our teams success!

Highlights from the tournament include Caleb Nykamp and Connor Ryan besting West Ottowa in a third set tiebreaker at 3rd doubles 6-1, 4-6, 10-2.  Henry Snow and Jake Mersman beating EGR at 6 doubles 6-2, 6-1. Bradley Buter and BJ Apol absolutely battling West Ottowa at 5 doubles winning a 2nd set tie breaker and taking them to 8-10 in the 3rd set super breaker 3-6, 7-6, 8-10.

The team will be working hard at practice this week in preparation for our away match against Lowell on Wednesday 9/1. Go Eagles!
