Varsity Squash v. St. Paul's School

2/24/2020

To finish the season, the undefeated Eaglebrook went on a road trip that involved, an overnight stay in Concord NH. The culmination of quite an outstanding season was to be played on the McLane courts at St. Paul's. Everyone know this was going to be a tough game, as they were 4-3 victors over rivals Fessenden just a few days before. However, the Eagles were to shake off the rust from their match on Friday and really lay everything on the line at St. Paul's. The Eagles ended up 5-2 victors, vanquishing any doubts that this was a season to truly remember. Evan K., strapped to the nines and carrying a very painful leg injury was able to put that to the back of his mind and power to a fine win. Ethan W., would be involved in the game of his life that flowed back and forth like the tides of the ocean, before ending up 3-2 victor in an absolute squash epic. Jaden C. was able to hold off a much larger opponent and recorded yet another impressive win. JP L. who has grown and matured as a player was able to fight off his own inner demons and record an outstanding victory before Emerson W. took to the courts and showed everyone why he is the school no. 1 by winning with style, panache and grace.

To look back on a season that saw the team go 12-1, is tough to do, so I will leave that to the individual memories of each concerned, but what I will do is thank our five graduating players for their contributions to the Eaglebrook squash program and to thank their stellar efforts for a wonderful, wonderful season. I also would like to thank JP, Jesus and Andrew, who will be returning and providing the backbone for what will hopefully be another great season next year.

I would also like to thank my co-coaches Michaelann and TR, for their time, energy, skill and dedication to this team this season. We, as a team and me as a coach, could not have done any of this without you both - Thank you!

Enjoy the off-season. Let's do this again next year.
