HUDSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL: 3
The Eagles closed our their season with a marathon match against Hudsonville at home yesterday. The last match wrapped at 7pm, and our team clutched victory with a 5-3 result! Hudsonville brought 40 player to GRC's 16, so 1-5 doubles played three prosets, and 6 & 7 doubles as well as 8 singles played two prosets. Out of the 21 prosets played, GRC won 13. Highlights from the evening include: Nico Speulstra and Derrick Jacobsen winning at 1 doubles 8-6, Eli Compagner and Alex Amash playing amazing tennis and retrieving shots that their opponents thought were winners at 2 doubles, Nate Scheffler and Caleb Nykamp clinching a neck-and-neck match at 3 doubles 9-7, Connor Ryan and Caleb Westhouse handily taking out their opponents at 3 doubles 8-2, Bradley Buter and BJ Apol coming back from 5-7 and taking 4 games straight to win 9-7, Josh Vanschepen and Simon Speulstra taking care of business at 6 doubles 8-2, 8-6, Henry Snow and Jake Mersman putting it all together at 7 doubles winning the 8-2, 8-3, and Jerry Zhang going undefeated on the day at our singles position 8-3, 8-1! The Eagles results yesterday are a testament to the growth that our players have worked hard to achieve throughout this season. It was a fantastic way to wrap it all up. Many thanks to our parents for all of the support throughout the season: providing food, water, shade, and transportation. The team will be celebrating their season at Gainey this afternoon. Go Eagles!
