Cameron had his first tennis tournament of the year on Saturday. It was played at Hamilton Heights which was about two hours south of us. This was Bethany's first time playing in the tournament and their coach was thankful for the challenge this early in the season. Cameron played the #3 varsity singles spot and had his toughest match on the day to start. He was pitted against Hamilton Heights and played very well in the first set. Several times Doug said that it looked like he was about to lose, but he hung tough pushing the match to a tie break. Ultimately, his opponent proved to much for him as Cameron recorded the loss at 6-7, 6-1. Even though he was not victorious, Cameron still felt very well about his play.
The second match was easier than the first, but it did give Doug a scare. After winning the first set and getting out to 5-0 lead in the second, Cam's opponent started to pick up some momentum and soon the score was 5-3. Cam held on, however, and finished with a 6-3 win. The third match was the quickest of the day. Cam was matched up against someone who had just finished a tough second match loss. He didn't have much left in him and Cam made quick work of the match putting Cam in third place on the day. His team equaled his performance, finishing third as well. Overall, both Cam and Doug were thrilled with Cam's first varsity tournament performance. Cam had played well and built his confidence for the upcoming season. The only negative on the day was the sunburn to Doug's forehead. He definitely had proof that he had worn his mask as the rest of his face was a noticeable shade of white.
