The Wyvern boys' tennis team carried a 11-3 overall record into our match with North Oldham High School on Monday.  Ben Weaver played a great match at #1 singles and went on to win 6-3, 6-2.  Angus Middleton and Alan Ziegler at #2 and #3 singles fought hard but went down.  Cole Von Feldt and Graham Cote at #1 doubles won with well-placed returns and opportunistic put-aways.

On Tuesday afternoon, the boys played well enough to defeat Eastern High School  5-0.  Gray Thurstone, Jamie Anderson and Ben Weaver, at # 1, 2, and 3 singles respectively, only lost three games among them in their matches.  Consecutive wins for both doubles teams was a refreshing sign this late in the season.  Cole Von Feldt and Graham Cote at # 1 doubles really fed off of each other in their 6-2 6-3 win. Matthew Siciliano and Andrew Thurstone at # 2 doubles continued to solidify their tactics in a tight 6-4, 6-3 win.

On the girls' side, the Wyverns didn't fare so well with top performer Eva Borders out of town on the 8th grade Big South Fork trip.  Lily Tierney gave a great effort at #1 singles but fell 6-0, 6-3.  Lucy Lv and Gracie Jones also dropped their matches at #2 and #3 singles as well.  In doubles action the results were about the as the Wyverns dropped three out of four doubles matches in the loss.  

The boys' tennis team traveled to play Male on Wednesday.  With the season winding down, every victory counts toward a better region tournament seed. Gray Thurstone opened at # 1 singles against a veteran hard-hitting lefty and pulled out the 6-3, 6-1 win.  Jamie Anderson, at # 2 singles and still unbeaten this season, overpowered and overwhelmed his opponent from the start in a dominating 6-0  6-0 win.  Ben Weaver, at # 3 singles, lost very few points in his 6-1, 6-1 win.  Cole Von Feldt and Graham Cote, at # 1 doubles, dropped the first set, rebounded in the second, and lost the tiebreaker.  Andrew Thurstone and Matthew Siciliano too lost the first and rebounded in the second, and were able to take the tiebreaker and win their match.  

Thursday afternoon, the Wyverns found themselves in a battle with regional opponent Manual.  With three of their top players unavailable due to school trips, the girls' team struggled in the match but gained some valuable experience.  Lucy Lv, Esme Tyler, and Gracie Jones played #1, #2 and #3 singles, with Talia Blue/Emma Boland, Maddie Case/Anna Finkelstein, and Shams Shaker/Fatima Adam taking the court in doubles.
