The Eagles battled against a strong EGR team at Gainey yesterday.  Some of the most entertaining and impressive points of the season were played in this match.  Our guys hustled.  Win or lose, we value leaving a earnest effort on the court, and we did that as a team yesterday against EGR. Some highlights from the match include: Joel VanHekken and Derrick Jacobsen crushing overheads at one doubles, Alex Amash and Eli Compagner tracking down ridiculous balls and refusing to leave points at 2 doubles, Caleb Westhouse and Nate Scheffler hitting short angle approach shots and then coming in to net to finish the point,  Bradley Buter and BJ Apol staying patient and consistent from the baseline to take EGR to a tiebreak at 4 doubles, Josh Vanschepen and Simon Speulstra hitting volleys away from and between EGR's players at net, Henry Snow and Jake Mersman measuring their returns on 2nd serves and going down to line for winners,  Jerry Zhang playing some of the longest points of the the whole match battling at the singles position going 5-8, 6-8.  The team will be practicing at Gainey today in preparation for their match against Hudsonville at home on Wednesday. Go Eagles!
