Week 2 is in the books! Guys played great this week and got physically and mentally prepared to due battle with Dallas on Monday. We wrapped up a good week of indoor and outdoor practice with our annual pre-season intrasquad match: Team Red vs. Team Black last night at the Patton Middle School Courts. The guys fought hard and showed that we do have a deep team with much parity this season. Team Black came out on top 3-2 at the end. However, it was great to see the guys cheering for both of our "teams" during the final two matches. They coined the terms "Brad" and "Bread" to represent their affiliation and support with both the Black and Red Teams. Overall, their performance on the court indicated to me that they are ready to jump into match play on Monday.
Here are the results from the match, some pictures, and a video of a Reza slam from today:
Team Black 3, Team Red 2
Nathan (R) def. Bradyn (B) 6-3, 6-2
Reza (B) def. Cody (R) 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (5)
Will/Myles (R) def. Nicky/Brendon (B) 6-2, 6-3
Daniel/George (B) def. Kj/Isaac (R) 6-1, 6-0
Austin (B) def. Bobby (R) 6-3, 6-4
Go Grizz!
