Cold & Windy Scrimmage.

It was cold and windy day at the Racquet Club today. I did not hear one complaint about the weather from my players. I think they were glad to finally be playing another school.

Hixson was short-handed due to a class trip and illness. The girls were especially depleted with our #2, #4 and #7 seeds out, and Haylee Gossett (normally our #3 seed) had to forfeit her singles match due to a conflict in her schedule. I must say, I thought the girls did pretty well, and I can't wait to meet this team again at full strength next week. I was especially proud of Lydia and Caylee who scored all three of our Team points, by winning their singles matches and teaming up for a win in doubles.

The boys were missing their #4 Seed, Kevin Nguyen, but still cruised to a an easy 8-1 victory. Good tennis all around on their end. Here are the results:
