The match came down to number one doubles. We were up 9-6 in the tie-breaker and had three match points but they won five straight points to close out the match.

For our first time out, I thought we played some good tennis. We played hard and came up short on those tie-breakers against Rapid City Central.

It was like two different matches. We played so well in singles and when it came to doubles, we did not play well at all.

Derek White played a very good match and our number two doubles played well today.

We had some bright spots out there with our younger guys. Dane (freshman), Derek (sophomore) and Mike (freshman) picked up some good wins. This was as close a match as you can get. It was a perfect day for tennis.

We were pretty good at the tie-breakers today. We lost one at number two singles but all the others went our way. We were fortunate there.

We gave some of the junior varsity players an opportunity to play varsity today. We did real well. The whole idea was to give them some experience.

We had three really close matches. We started slowly at numbers one and three doubles, and lost the first set in each. We came back and played well in the final two sets.

We played better (on Saturday) and I think part of that was getting the first two matches out of our system. We were nervous. We're getting better but have a lot of things to work on including inconsistency in our ground strokes. We served a lot better today.

That was a match we thought was going to be real tight and we were in it the whole time. It came down the number one and number three doubles.
