Comments (0) This was not an easy match today against the Veldman Canton Team. They look to be the second place team.
We managed to win 2 of 3 positions maintaining our undefeated record. Carolyn and Aram lost 7-6:7-6 against Craig Cutler who was just too crafty. Carolyn C and Greg won in doubles 2 and Kim and Jason won in line 3. Welcome to team Jason Lenore and congratulations on your win.

This weekend there was an eight court brawl between ST and FV!
It was great to have 32 kids playing non-stop tennis for two hours! The amount of fun and chatter by those not playing could have broken the concentration of the players… but not even close! It is great to see players competing with no excuses!
When the smoke cleared, Simsmore Tennis was the last club standing in both the 14′s and 18′s. Both matches were decided by 4 games!
Games balls were given to Nick Berns and Lauren Neureither of the 18′s team and Ashton Kille and Alex Brunstad of the 14′s team for being the only players to have wins in both singles and doubles!
The 18 team is done for the season and the 14′s have two matches left!
Thanks to the players, parents and coaches for a successful season!
Good luck to everyone going out for their high school teams! We are very proud of you!

We took 3/5. All doubles lines won. singles weren’t so lucky but they had great matches. Their results don’t show it.
Penny and Pam won 6/1, 6/4. Marianne and Angela won in 2 tie breaks. Rachel and Charlotte won in 2 sets. Stephanie got to play the personnel trainer that got every single ball hit to her, yes it was ugly but Stephanie played great. Lisa had a great match at S1. The girl she played was ranked a 3.5 and gave Lisa a run for her money. It was down to the very last point and it ended in the ball hitting the net and dribbling over to end the match.
Our next match is March 6 at home against Farmington Valley.
Doubles at 1:00 and singles at 3:00. We only have 3 matches left and we need to win at least 2 lines each match to make it to Districts.
I am happy to report that the Perfect Racquets put one in the W column last evening. Thank you to all that played and to the friends that cheered us on.
S1 Audra took out Maxine in a match tie-break. She arrived at the club looking a bit under the weather and taking motrin, not a good sign I thought. Oh how wrong I was…
S2 Catherine won easily in two sets. She was very composed, the ground stokes were beautiful! Her opponent spent lots of time shaking her head wondering what she should do next!
D1 Geri and Deanna played a very challenging team…We had moments of splendor and some of disaster trying to get it going. We fought hard and just could not get ahead!
D2 Kim and Jeanne also fought hard. The points that I was able to catch looked great with Kim and Jeanne all over the court…Next time gals…
D3 Heidi and Julie P. won easily in two sets. They were simply too strong for their opponents…Way to go gals.
Our next match is March 13. Let’s put another in the W column…

Everybody has to lose sometime… it’s just not our time yet. We posted a 4-1 victory at Middlebury today. Aram won 6-3, 6-2 at S1. Chaz also won, but I didn’t catch the scores. Although singles and doubles played at the same time, it’s great to be up 2-0 as we engage in doubles. Jeff and Tim won at D1, 6-2 and 6-3. And I know Lowell and Jason won in straight sets at D3. JonC and MikeO played the toughest opponent at D2, and came up a little short.
That puts our team record at 5-0. Everyone else has at least 2 losses, and most have 3. So, we’re doing really well, with only three matches to go. We don’t play next weekend, but we may play the weekend after, so as soon as we have a date and time, I will solicit feedback on availability. Keep up the great work guys!
This match was not won on the courts today for Simsmore. The Bloomfield team was talented and played well. All completed matches were won by the Bloomfield Bobcats.
The match itself was won by Simsmore. 49-36.
The game balls for today’s match does not go to any individual player(s).
One goes to all the players that were present today. Who practiced against each other and spent their time playing. Some on a surface they had never seen.
One goes to the parents that got their juniors to the match, stayed, watched and cheered.
The last one goes to Claudia for being the most organized coach in the league. All you have to do is go to a match to see the outcome of her hard work and commitment to making Simsmore Tennis the best program it can be!
