Tennis Scrimmage vs Manual and Greenwood

Tennis season began with a scrimmage against Manual and Greenwood - two very talented teams in Kentucky.  The scrimmage took place down town Louisville.

It was a bitter cold morning.  I had Robert wear under armor but he didn't like it.  His first match was double with Jack Stewart.  They are a great team. Manual also had a great team.  Jack and Robert played well, but ended up with a 6-2 and 6-3 loss.

Eli Woods is the #1 singles for North.  Mitch Zuberi was #2 today, but we also have Jordan (out with injury).

Then Robert played a singles match - this was good competition for him. The day had warmed up, and Robert was also a little more awake and alert for this game.  He won 6-4.  Right now the coach has him as the #3 player!  That's awesome.

After a short break, then Greenwood came.  Robert played doubles with Aiden Kuhn.  This time Robert didn't wear the under armor.  He said it was restricting him movement. 

Robert has really improved from last year.  His shots are more accurate, and hit with great strength.  His has a strong serve too.  He looks ready for the season!!

Let's go North!!

Mustang Classic - First game against Manual

It's the Monday night before school starts and Robert has his first "home" game.  These games are part of the Mustang Classic Tournament - they do not count in the conference games, but they are a great opportunity to look at the team before the season officially starts!

Robert starts on the left wing as usual. 

Starting line up

Manual is a very competitive team.  The teams are very well matched against each other.  Robert has a lot of crosses to his teammates, but they are not able to score.  On the other hand, on a very crazy confusing corner kick, Manual scores their first goal. 

Half time 1-0.

In the second half the we come out strong in the beginning, but as substitutions take place we weaken our ability to possess the ball.  Manual scores a second goal.  2-0.  Then on a very crazy play, Max comes out of the box too far, and the ball gets past him; our defender did not come over to cover the goal and the ball rolls in.  It counts as a goal.  3-0.

Game ends 3-0
