Congratulations Reed Tennis Players on your first effort. We witnessed a lot of good things on the courts today and we are proud of you as players and a team. It's great how you supported each other positively and competed with your hearts. It's a sign of more good things to come.
Here are our match highlights:
Our varsity no. 2 doubles boys team of Andrew VerSteeg and Brett Corona won a 17 game, hour and a half match, persisting through many advantage games, to win 9-8.
It was a great match to watch and wonderful how Andrew and Brett kept their poise to the finish.
The score was turned slightly around for our girls, Lizbeth Villalobos and Kaylee Speer, who also went on to play to the tie breaking 17th game, but finally lost to Clark no. 3 varsity doubles team, 8-9 games. Great effort girls!
Other bright spots:
Ivy Ryan & Breanna Dykstra solidy took the JV Doubles no.1 match 7 games to 2 while
Giedre Kisieliute and Savannah Erickson also were victorious in their match 5-4. Ivy and Breanna have qualified to move up to varsity for Friday's matches.
We are proud of how all of you gave your best effort and represented Reed with hard work in the game, spirit and being supportive of your team mates. It's a fine thing keeping chins up even when matches didn't go our way.
Remember that today's matches against Erwin are at Loveland High School at 3:30.
Stop by Mr. Hagstrom's room, 208, to view the assignments for this afternoon.
All the best,
Mr. Hagstrom
