Tonight was Cameron's last tennis match of the season. All Doug and I kept talking about before it started was how we couldn't believe that Bethany was actually able to have a full season. It started off slow with a few matches being postponed and even one cancelled, but overall the rest of the season went off without a hitch. We were incredibly thankful that Cameron never had to quarantine or isolate due to COVID during that time period. Getting to play tennis everyday got a little monotonous at times especially during practice, but it sure beat sitting at home.
The Bruins played Jimtown tonight, so the drive there was an easy one. Cam played in the #1 JV singles position, but was pitted against their #1 doubles varsity player as Jimtown had moved positions so that all seniors could play varsity together on senior night. We weren't really surprise to hear that Cam's opponent normally played varsity as he had a fantastic first serve and was exceptional at the net. Cam did very well against him. Several parents and coaches remarked as much. His was the only JV match that was close tonight as the rallies were long and the score went back and forth. In the end Cameron lost the match at 4-6. He was pleased when he walked off the court that he had played so well and we were happy for him.
Cameron did end up with a winning record overall this year on both varsity and junior varsity courts. None of that really matter to Doug and I. We were just incredibly impressed with how much Cameron had improved over the season and grown as a person. A large part of that was due to his hard work. It also helped tremendously to have such a supportive group of coaches in Matt, Daniel and Andrew. With their encouragement Cameron has already made plans for the off season and we are looking forward to more tennis to come.
