Caiman Tennis:
A good learning week for all of us this past week with 2 matches. Although we were missing 2 players who were out sick, our 1st match against Mission Hills was an even match up. The scores did not reflect the way you all played. There was a lot of good rallies & wise shot selection. The more matches you have under your belt, the more confidence you will build. So keep learning and taking risk. For Double’s players, having a good habit on closing the net will make you more comfortable and consistent in winning points at net.
Final Score with MHHS was 4 - 14 Mission Hills.
Our 2nd match of the week was with Bonsall High School. Our First Win! Final Score 12 - 6 CAIMANS. Our Doubles Swept all 9 sets, while our Singles walked away with 3 tough Set wins. Congratulations Caimans. We are headed to more competitive matches ahead. Brace yourselves as March Madness is coming!
Player of the Week goes to Lucas Buerger
This week Lucas showed tremendous respect and good sportsmanship in a face to face doubles match against his brother, Nicholas. Lucas is learning to keep his composure on the court and to change his mind set into a positive when he starts battling within. Lucas continually pumps his partner up with words of encouragement and “High 5’s. This was evident on Thursdays match when Chris and he were down 4-1, they both dug deep & believed... to win in a tie breaker.set. CONGRATULATIONS Lucas, for being this week's Player of the Week!
