We officially became the first team to compete at the new York High School tennis courts tonight. We also became the first team to win a contest on those courts.
Playing without our top player, I had a feeling that we would be challenged more than usual with everyone playing up a spot. We generally have a match or two get closer than comfort and have dropped some here and there in the past. Today was no different as we dropped 1 line, after sweeping the other 6 varsity contests.
We've looked good in our first two scrimmages thus far. Entering the weekend and our tournament matches, I am confident in two things:
1) We are much improved from last year
2) We have many players with the talent to win varsity matches
We'll have fun this weekend playing against three schools that we have never faced before. We kick it off Friday night against Piedmont HS out of Indian Trail. Then, Saturday morning we will play Marvin Ridge HS, from Marvin near Weddington. Our last match is against Butler HS from east Charlotte. I anticipate playing multiple different lineups to get different people playing singles and doubles. With the depth of talent our team has, we have the ability to do that.
