Vs. Riverside W 4 - 1

*Great start for the team. Freshmen, Aaron Witthohn and Senior, J.J. Lossing led the way, winning at first and third singles. Our first doubles team of Junior, M.J. O'Neal and Sophomore, Brian Shea look promising as they won their first match and second doubles Seniors Mike Nedelman and G.W. Blum also won their first match.

Vs. St. J & P RAINED OUT (To be re-scheduled)

Vs. NDCL L 0-5

*Freshmen, Aaron Witthohn battled hard in a straight sets loss at first singles. His opponant, a senior, state-qualifier, proved the better player on this day. Second singles, sophomore, Adam Schiller and third singles senior, J.J. Lossing, both lost in straight sets. Both first and second doubles also dropped straight sets matches to an experienced NDCL squad.

Vs. Conneaut L 2-3

*Despite a disappointing loss to local rival Conneaut H.S., there were bright spots for the Eagles. Freshmen, Aaron Witthohn won an impressive first singles match against his senior opponent from Conneaut, improving his personal record to 2-1. At second singles, sophomore, Adam Schiller won his first match of the year in straight sets, improving to 1-2 personally. A loss at third singles meant that the pressure rested on our doubles teams. Both first and second doubles went to three sets before we dropped both matches to Conneaut. At first doubles, Junior, M.J. O'Neal and sophomore, Brian Shea, were a tie breaker away from winning and will surely remember the sting of losing this match when Conneaut arrives for the return match in a few weeks.

Vs. Lakeside High School LOSS 1 - 4

-Valliant efforts from Aaron Witthohn at first singles and Rafael Feliz/Alejandro Molina at second doubles proved

Vs. Riverside High School
3 wins in a row brings us to .500 on the season as gives us a chance to reach our season goal, a winning record!!! In a 5-0 sweep today over Riverside, all three singles players, Witthohn, O’Neal, and Schiller, continued to roll and won decisively. Our doubles teams also played well in victories. 1st Doubles teammates Mike Nedelman and J.J. Lossing played their best match of the season while our 2nd doubles tandom of Rafael Feliz and Alejandro Molina out-dueled their opponents in three sets

What a finish! Our win today over Madison High secures a winning record for the team this season. As it turns out, we needed a complete team effort to seal the victory. After 1st singles sensation Aaron Witthohn and 3rd singles Adam Schiller won in straight sets, the boys needed only one more win. At 2nd singles, M.J. O’Neal dropped a close three-setter. 1st doubles duo Nedelman and Lossing lost a straight-set match much closer than anticipated taking on Madison’s top two players. This left our 2nd doubles pairing of Feliz and Molina with the pressure squarely on their shoulders. In the third set they buckled down and pushed their way to a big win! It was a great way to finish a really fun season.
