Happy Easter! Once again, I have to play meteorologist: our scrimmage against Mounds View that was scheduled for last Friday was cancelled.
Personally, this was disappointing, because I may have had the chance to play against Mounds View's Wyatt Mccoy, who won the state singles title as an eighth grader and was a finalist as a freshman. He then took his next two years playing tournaments around the country, making him ineligible for high school tennis. He earned himself a tennis scholarship to the University of Notre Dame, and has now returned for his senior season. To beat the best, you must play the best, no?
Anyway, this upcoming week is chock-full of tough matches. Practice on Monday, followed by four matches in a row: Eden Prairie (defending state champions, conference foe), Minnetonka (a good top-ranked team made great by offseason transfers, conference foe), Minneapolis South (beat us in section semi-finals last year), and Spring Lake Park to round out the week.
I'll be posting after each match, so stay tuned!
Until then,
Michael
