Thunderstorms and lightning forced delays during our match play in the third round of sectionals yesterday. My singles match and two of our doubles teams were still playing when officials suspended play. We returned to play indoors six hours after our original start time and complete the matches. Unfortunately for us, we were defeated 5-0 in the final round of round robin play.
I would like to salute my teammates who fought hard against some of the strongest players we have ever faced. We showed up with the minimum of nine players while other teams rotated up to 18 players during round robin play. I'm thankful for the lessons learned and the comradery. Thanks also for supporting our team. Practice for next season resumes on Wednesday. It's time to go home. Special thanks to team captain, Jim Sichterman, for leading our team and setting up the best accommodations ever through VRBO. Have a great day. Good luck to the state champion Iowa team who won their pool yesterday and will be playing in the semifinals this morning.
