Last night Cam played #1 JV singles against Elkhart. It was the first time that Bethany had played against them since they had combined Elkhart Memorial and Elkhart Central making them one of the largest high schools in Northern Indiana. Although Cam's opponent was several inches taller than he was, Cam was able to control the match very well. The player from Elkhart hit the ball hard, served well and made the match competitive, but in the end Cam was able to out score his opponent 6-3. Cam was proud of the win as he was only one of two junior varsity courts to come out on top tonight.
While we were waiting for Cam to take the court we were treated to some extremely competitive varsity matches as well. Bethany's #2 player looked completely over matched in the first set, but came back to win the second. The third set was a close one and although Bethany lost, it was a lot of fun to watch. The number one doubles team also played a very close match taking it to a third set as well. The number three singles was closer than the score revealed and had some great rallies to keep us entertained. All in all it was a fun evening for tennis at Bethany on Monday night even though the Bruins lost 2-3.
We had hoped that tonight's match would equal last night's, but unfortunately the weather just didn't cooperate. On the way to Prairie Heights it had started to rain, but as we reached the high school it seemed to have cleared. As soon as Cam took the court for his #1 JV singles match, however, the clouds opened back up to a downpour. Even though it looked to be a quick shower, there was no way to dry the courts in time to play. Thus, the two teams agreed to postpone until the end of September and we drove the one hour trip back home a little down in the mouth. To make matters worse Cam had broken the strings on his beloved orange racket. Thankfully, I had picked up Moe's curbside delivery for dinner tonight for the guys, so all was not a complete loss.
