Boys Varsity Tennis vs. Helias Catholic HS

Game Date: Apr 13, 2015
Score: TIGERS: 5
HELIAS CATHOLIC HS: 4

The Waynesville Tiger tennis team took a win against Jeff City Helias tonight, 5-4. The Crusaders are always a closely ranked team. It seems like we always end up playing the team winning match at the end after battling back and forth for individual match wins throughout the night. Robert Osborn and Kyle Roberts stepped out first to take a quick, easy win against their opponents, 8-3. With Brian Fields and John Parker on one court and David Lund and Steven Berrios on the other, both teams were down one game and fighting a close match against their opponents. Each team came back to enter into a tiebreaker match with the Fields/Parker duo pulling out a win, 9-8 (7-5) and Lund/Berrios falling just short against their #3 and #4 seeded opponents, 8-9 (1-7). With the Tigers ahead going into Singles, we needed at least 3 more individual wins to take the match as a team. Robert Osborn took another quick win, 8-1 to further his undefeated record. Robert is just dependable. His strokes are solid. He can see the layout of the court well, and he can make his opponent put the ball exactly where he wants it. He can see his opponent's weaknesses, and he feeds on them. Brian Fields came out to play singles against the same Helias player he matched up with last year, falling 10-7. This time, however, Brian walked away with the win at 8-4. With the match on line, we had two boys, David Lund and Steven Berrios, still out on the courts. Unaware of the team needing one more win, David Lund fought a very long, very close singles match. He took control at the net and smashed an overhead shot over the net for the winning point, 8-6. Steven Berrios played well and fought through exhaustion, but still fell just short at a close 7-9 score. The Tigers head to Springfield Wednesday to play in the 32 team Springfield Invitational before meeting Lebanon again at home on Thursday and taking the road to West Plains Friday night.
