After a long break between matches, mostly due to poor weather, we were finally able to play Corner Canyon at home on April 13th. Despite the incredible wind gusts, we were able to come away with the victory 3-2 and get our first region win. Congratulations to Christian Craig at 1st singles, Tanner Reese at 2nd singles, and Ian and Hunter Chiniquy at 2nd doubles who all came away with varsity wins. Our Junior Varsity team also found great success in their matches, not losing any match.
On April 18th we were able to host Region/State favorite Timpview at Orem High. Despite the match not ending quite the way we wanted, there were definitely some highlights of the match for us. The first of which coming from Tanner Reese, who ended up barely losing an extremely close, three and a half hour match at second singles. Our lone victory of the day came from Daniel Benson who was able to win at the 1st JV position. Great job Daniel!
On Friday, April 21st, we were able to play a postponed match against Alta in Sandy. In this match we were able to find a lot of success on the court, winning varsity by a score of 4-1, and not losing a single JV match. Match of the day goes to Ian and Hunter Chiniquy who battled back from down a set, down a break multiple times in the third set, the other team serving for the match on two separate occasions and the entire Alta team attempting to frustrate them. Once they found themselves in a third set tiebreaker, there was no doubt who was going to come out on top. Great job Ian and Hunter!
With just four regular season matches remaining, lets all hope for good fortune in missing storms and being able to play our matches easily! I have updated the schedule post to show the dates for JV region, Varsity region, and Varsity State. Wish the boys good luck as they play the Provo Bulldogs tomorrow, Tuesday the 25th, at Provo high.
Go Tigers!
