I am very proud of the effort and competitive attitude the kids showed today. Overcoming the extremely hot conditions was a battle in itself. They fought hard and never gave up.
Floresville 8/18/18
Devine Team Tennis Lost a Tough one to the Tigers of Floresville.
We were missing 3 of the top 6 Arabians Saturday, making it very hard to compete. However, the Arabians ended up with 3 wins. Scarlett Smith/Preslee Quisenberry won their doubles match and their singles matches.
Warhorses doubles teams, Ralph Rios/Jake Harrell and Mason Zenon/Denton Zuercher won their matches. Unfortunately, these were the only matches the Warhorses won against the Tigers.
We did not end up with scores I was hoping for, but Floresville is a well-coached and experienced team. Our kids got a lot of playing time and valuable experience, which made it a productive day. We are improving with every match.
