Match One in the Books!

A big congratulations to our Grizzlies for a great opening-day win against a persistent Dallas team.  This is the first time in my four years at McMinnville that we've played on the opening Monday of the spring season.  The weather held off for us and the guys stepped up big to claim an 8-0 win over Dallas.  As a a coach it was fun for me to see our guys play against Dallas - a foe we had seen many times this summer in USTA Junior Team Tennis competition.  They are well coached and came out ready to play.  In the end, our guys proved to be too much in terms of focus, energy, and skill level and closed out a great 8-0 win.  Bradyn and Wyatt set the tone for us at No. 3 and No. 4 Singles and earned game balls for their outstanding 6-0, 6-0 wins.
