Highs and Lows, but Never Give Up
We have been working on hand signals and more aggressive play with our JV doubles teams and I feel we are seeing some progress with that! Our doubles partners should stay pretty consistent for the rest of the season unless a teammate is absence from the match. The JV group is currently 1-2-2 (1 win, 2 ties, and 2 losses), but with limiting the shifting of partners from here on out, I think we will see more consistency from these boys!
This week we have one team match vs Holt at Home and then the Howell Doubles Tournament at Home, but only the Top 4D Teams are playing. The rest of the team will stay and watch for at least an hour as 'practice' those days. Should be a competitive couple of days! Let's Go Vikings!
