Back on the Court

Cameron's match last night with Northridge was cancelled due to rain.  Tonight the boys were scheduled to play Concord and thankfully, the rain stopped well before the serves started.  We were surprised to find out that Concord only had twelves members on the team.  Thus, not all of the JV were scheduled to play.  Cameron, fortunately, was was on the number two singles court when we arrived. 

Cameron's opponent was obviously new to tennis.  Therefore, it wasn't too hard of a match with Cam winning 8-1.  He did find several things to work on while he was playing, however.  In fact it was the best that we had ever seen Cam hit his first serve.  After the match, Cam told us that he also worked on hitting his forehand down the right line and maintaining his intensity against a weaker opponent.  All of it worked and Grandma, Grandpa, Doug and I enjoyed watching him play.

Doug had a church meeting tonight at St. Martin's, so he left as soon as Cam was done.  My parents headed to the Chief afterward.  I waited on Cam.  The varsity #2 doubles match had gone to a third set.  With the Bruins and the Minutemen tied at 2-2, the last match of the evening became the most important.  Thankfully, Bethany pulled out the win after two and a half hours on the court.  It made for a long night for me, but I didn't mind.  I talked to Tammy, Breece's mom, and enjoyed our conversation.  Tennis has been different with a JV player.  Cam's matches have either finished well before varsity or at the very end of the evening making for some long nights.  Thankfully, Doug will be free Thursday night to take the late shift.
