Tonight, the Bethany boys' tennis team played their last regular season match against Fairfield high school. The boys knew that it would be a close match as the Falcons had won against some of the same teams that they had beat and lost to some of the same as well. Cameron had read a few scores on their number #1 singles player and realized that it would be even more challenging for his position as the Fairfield player had beaten Goshen's #1 6-1, 6-2.
The match tonight started promptly at 4:30. I was glad that we all made it on time as the walk around the building and the baseball field to the tennis courts was a long one. It was well worth the walk, however, as the Bruins came ready to play. From the beginning the matches were all extremely close, Cameron's especially. He and his opponent rallied back and forth, point after point and stayed on serve for most of the match. It was by far the best that we had seen Cameron play at the net and we enjoyed watching him hit winner after winner. It wasn't quite enough, but Cameron hung tough til the very end, losing 6-3, 6-4. His team score was much the same with Bethany losing 2-3, but 6-3 was the worst score on the day, showing the Bruins that they definitely had what they needed to beat Fairfield if they met in sectionals. First, however, they had the Wabash Invitational to look forward to next Saturday. We can't wait to watch them compete in that.
