JV Tennis v. NMH

In a closely contested battle, the EBS Junior Varsity tennis squad succumbed to the Northfield Hoggers 3 - 4. Snapping up solid wins for the Eagles was William Blauvelt, Aman Dalal, and Kozo Kubo, bringing us to a commanding early lead, 3 - 0. As battles raged on between our two and three positions, it became clear that a solid competitive spirit existed within the Northfield ranks. The Hoggers soon brought the score back to within one, with the Eagles in the lead 3 - 2. Our number one, Ping Virameetekul was up early, then down, then forced to endure five match points before finally ceding victory to his opponent. Winning that game would have forced his match into a tie-break... but in athletics as in life, one cannot dwell on 'what if's,' so our boys set their sights on winning the match through the double's point. Unfortunately this was not meant to be - as the Hoggers snapped up a 2 - 1 win for the double's point and thusly the match. Although we drove home in somber spirits, it was certain to all that we had offered up a respectable fight, and the EBS boys will surely prepare for our next meeting at home with hungry beaks.
