2nd doubles: Abby Wilson/Katie Wilson lost to Catherine Stamper/Shannon Brown 2-6, 1-6
We played a good match against a good team, but they were a little better. The team score does not indicate how well we played today. We played a different lineup. Abby Wilson played with her sister at second doubles, so I put Brooke Jones with Abby Gundler at one doubles. The singles players had to move up a position, and Emily Speakman moved to singles. I was very pleased with everyone's play. Little Miami is a good team. Brooke Honaker played her best tennis taking Little Miami's #1 to three sets. The first set took and hour and half. Brooke and Abby lost a tie breaker and went three sets with a very good doubles team, Both three setters lasted nearly three hours.Heather and Emily acquitted themselves very well playing higher positions.
It was a good lead-in to sectional tournament. The girls realize that they can compete against good competition.

Comments:
It was nice to have the doubles off the court early today. They played efficiently and were off the court quickly on a hot day. Two of the singles matches went three sets and three hours. Brooke Honaker was able to to come back after dropping the first set to win her match and gain the decisive match for the team victory. She did a better job of finishing her points today. Brooke Jones fell just short of coming back from down a set and played a good match. Heather O'Neill played well. She just was not able to close out big points she had done a good job setting up. I t was a good team win today.
