Bumpy Road

Dear Fans,
Your team just got back from sunny Orlando, Florida and was greeted to a blizzard. I'm just glad we made it back safely to CLAY COUNTY. It was really nice to get away for a week and spend time with the team and parents. Our first match was against G-Town college located in Kentucky early Monday morning. We ended up coming away with one of the biggest victories the program has had in years. We started off playing singles first which ended up to our advantage. Chris and Brandon won soundly while Taylor and I had to work hard in the third set to come away with a victory. All we needed was one doubles win to seal the victory and put all of the "Vamoses!" away for good. A fired up Kyster and I got the win in dubs and the team won 5-4. Our next match was up against a tough Oklahoma Baptist College. We ended up not winning a single match and came up with a disappointing hard lose. The same went for our next two matches where we went down 0-9 against Shorter College of Georgia and 2-6 against Weber of Florida. Even though it didn't mean much in the end Kyle L. and I had a big win in number two doubles and Chris came up HUGE in a third set tie breaker and wiped the smirk off his opponents face. I do have to give an award out to Shorter College for having the coolest/most unique names of a team we have ever played against. Not only were the last names almost impossible to pronounce but some of the names on the list included Bastion, Borat, and my favorite Coco Fire!!!
The trip was fantastic and I think the entire team had a great time. The resort was incredible and a huge thank you goes out to the alumni who helped make the trip possible. Finally a special thanks goes out to all the parents who cooked, cleaned, and cheered for us no matter what. Our next match is Saturday morning at home at 10:00 and we hope to see you there.
Let's Go Jewell!
