The Portland Boys Tennis Team played two contests this week. On Wednesday we traveled to Kalamazoo Hackett for our first dual match of the year. The Hackett team were semi finalists in last year’s state tournament and looked like a tough team to beat. The heat was definitely a factor in this match. We needed to take breaks after every 30 minutes of play to help the players deal with it. After the first break most of the matches were still close even though Hackett had the edge in most of them. They came out strong after the break and ended up sweeping us 8-0. We did have two teams that pushed their matches to the limit though. Ethan Webert had a tough time in his first set at 3 singles losing it 6-2. But then he fought back in the second set and just barely lost it 7-5. The 1 doubles team of Jorgen Sonday and Casey Smith had a good match the whole way. They ended up losing a very close one 6-3 in the first and 7-6 with a 9-7 tiebreaker in the second.

Our second match of the week was a Saturday quad that we hosted. Three strong teams joined us for this match. Big Rapids was the only other division 4 team While Coopersville and Parma Western are both division 3 teams. The competition ended up being too much for us on one of the hottest days of the year. The tournament was shortened to 8 game pro sets to help the players deal with the heat. In the end Parma Western and Big Rapids ended up tying for the championship. The quality of these two teams were high enough that we didn’t have any winners or runners up for the first time this season.
