It was a great weekend; the kids got to play a lot of good tennis. This is a great team and they are so competitive. I also wanted to give a big thanks to all the parents and to our A.D. Coach Cone for coming to support Somerville at the State Tournament. On Friday and Saturday, Feb 29 and March 1, 2008 the Somerville tennis team played in the Regional Team Tennis Tournament. There were 7 teams that competed in this tournament. They were Edna, Industrial, Brazos, Shiner, East Bernard, Schulenburg, and Somerville. Somerville placed 2nd and will be going to the State Team Tennis Tournament held March 14 and 15 in the Round Rock area. It has been three years since Somerville has been to the State Team Tennis Tournament.In team tennis you compete as a team rather than as an individual. It is set up like a regular bracket. There are 19 matches that are played: 3 boys doubles, 3 girls doubles, 6 boys singles, 6 girls singles and 1 mixed doubles. The team that wins 10 matches moves to the winner’s side of the bracket. This put Somerville in the bracket for 3rd and 4th place. We played Industrial and defeated them 10-3. Because Edna had beaten Brazos in the championship game and we had not played Brazos yet there was a playback. A playback is just a way to ensure the top two teams advance. Somerville defeated Brazos (the number 2 seed) 11-8, which made Somerville the true 2nd place team. We really can together as a team this weekend. In team tennis every point counts weather you are playing in the #1 position or in the #6 position. This really became evident in the last two matches of the day against Brazos. The #6 boy, Derek Cotton and #6 girl, Aubri Cooper were playing and we had to win one of those matches to win against Brazos. They both pulled it out#Cotton won 6-1, 4-6, 10-8 and Cooper won 6-3, 6-3. T.J. Rector and Jaie Rodriguez had the best records of the day winning all of their 8 matches. Other players that played really well were Matt Gaas and Brad Siegert. They defeated Edna’s #1 boy’s doubles that went to state last year. Gaas also won 3 of his 4 singles matches. Lindsay Knesek and Kacy Novosad won 3 of their 4 doubles matches. Kelly Siegert won 3 of her 4 singles matches and 3 of her 4 doubles matches. Alex Rudd and Anthony Nissen won all of their doubles matches. Kimber Dowell won 2 of her 4 doubles matches. Loren Cooper won 2 of her 3 doubles matches and won all of her singles matches. Kelly Korth won 3 of her 4 doubles matches. Other members of the team that played great were Stuart Bartek, Anthony Ramey and Patricia Munoz.
