As soon as golf sectionals ended, summer tennis started for Cameron. Since then he has been attending open court at Bethany most mornings, participating in weekly drills at Warsaw Tennis Club and playing in the Monday night high school tennis league with his teammates. I have been very proud of how much time and effort he has put into the sport knowing that golf has always been his number one activity. Tonight his hard work definitely showed and both Doug and I were extremely impressed with how well he played against Westview's number two player as well as Fremont's number one. Both were tough, hard hitting opponents that pushed Cameron to play at the top of his game and he rose to the challenge. Even though he lost both matches it was awesome to watch him compete. He hit more winners tonight than I could ever remember seeing him hit before. His serve was strong and he ended the matches with a smile on his face. We talked a lot about his improvement on the way home and his expectations for the season. He realized that he might be playing some difficult matches this season and may not end up with a winning record, but felt that as long as he could compete as well as he did tonight, he would be happy with his game.
