Coaches Corner

On Tuesday the boys tennis team took on Forest Lake for the last match in the regular season. Mid way through the match the varsity team was leading 3-2 with wins at  1st Singles (Andrew A), 3rd Singles (Caden C) and 4th Singles(Derek A). Forest Lake won points at 2nd Singles (Nick Y) and 1st Doubles (Kerman A/Tyler H). We needed a win 2nd or 3rd doubles. 3rd doubles won 1st set 6-4 and were at 6-6 all when they started their tie breaker to the first one to 7. As they were playing there was some confusion on how to play so I started helping them out. As they were playing Coon Rapids was up 7-5 which should of been the match but these young men forgot if it was the 2nd set or 3rd set. It had been predetermined that if set were split we were playing a super tiebreaker.  The players kept playing to the first one to 10 and Forest Lake won 10-8. I was hoping that they were going to play the super tiebreaker but both teams shook each other hands and Forest Lake won the match with out playing the official 3rd set. We ended up loosing 2nd doubles in a super tiebreaker 10-8. It was a tough match to stomach but ethically I could not re-correct the score with Coon Rapids loosing 4-3. Now it brings us to our match last night in first round of sections. Match was tied 3-3 with 3rd doubles playing with Nick T and Hoang V. At the start of the 3rd set Nick asked our players what was the score and they told him it was 3-3. The 3rd set was see sawing back and forth leading the match to a tiebreaker. A memorable moment for me was watching our varsity and JV cheering on these 2 young men. We ended up wining 7-5 in the 7 point tie breaker. This helped us secure the win 4-3. Results are as follows;

Coon Rapids  3                               Forest Lake     4

In the first match of the day the Cardinals which is in the same section of 7AA. We beat the Vikings 5-2 with all doubles winning and the top 2 singles spots coming away with a victory. In the Rogers match we lost 7-0 which Rogers had a very good 1st singles who moved in from California. 3rd and 4th singles lost in close matches. 2nd and 3rd singles lost in 3 sets also. Last match of the day the Cardinals beat Osseo 4-3. With 2 matches still playing we needed to win both of the points to close out with a win. Andrew and our first doubles of Kerman and Tyler were still playing. Andrew won his first set and was down 4-5 to win the second set 7-5. Tyler and Kerman than about 10 minutes later closed out with a win to secure a victory for the tennis team.

In prior matches he had played doubles, for our Park Center match we wanted to see how players would do in different positions. Andrew won an exciting match at 1st singles. Our doubles played well but once they understand they need to get into the net they will start wining more matches. Nick won his first match at 2nd singles after loosing close matches at that spot. On the weekend Coon Rapids played in 8 team tournament at Roseville High School. There were some very good teams, Roseville, Rosemount, Bloomington Jefferson, Forest Lake, Park Cottage Grove, St. Paul harding and Mpls. Southwest. We had 4 singles and 4 doubles playing. Each position was playing in their own bracket and each time you played you would earn your school points based on how you did.  We were missing 3 of our top 4 players due to illness and church activities. 3rd Doubles which consisted of Henry Staples and Vincent Schanbel won their first varsity match playing in the second round of their bracket. Tony Ammann and Patrick Schultz also won their first varsity match at 4th doubles. Every spot but 2nd doubles won a match at their spot they were playing.

Kerman had a great match at 3rd singles loosing in 3 sets. He keeps getting closer for that elusive win that he is still trying to get.

In the Spring Lake Park match there were several matches where are players had there chances to win some sets. As I keep telling the players they are going to hit some stumbling blocks along the way and they have to believe they are good enough to compete in the lineup. Nick Yang was the player who got a win at 4th singles. In the Andover match Andrew Argeros won at 1st singles, Nick Yang at 3rd Singles and Caden Carey at 4th Singles. In the doubles spots we just need to move to the ball a little better and communicate with each other as we are playing out points.

~~The boys tennis team played two tennis matches this week. Coming away with a 1-1 record. On Tuesday we lost to Elk River in what for 9 players their first Varsity match ever, we lost 7-0. In the Elk River we did not have Andrew Argeros was gone due to a funeral. Kerman Arruartena-Edme our #2 singles player played at 1 singles and lost 6-0, 6-4. It was Kerman first varsity match ever and he is an exchange student this year from France. He has been a great addition to our tennis team. In the other matches we worked hard and learned a some items that we need to work on. On Thursday we competed against Totino Grace and came away with a 5-2 win. In the win we had 5 players get their first varsity win. Andrew played a good match at 1st singles winning in straight sets. Kerman lost in 3 sets and once he identifies which is the correct shot to take you will start winning. Caden Carey at 3rd singles and Nick Yang at 4th singles won in straight sets. Liam Speltz and Tyler Hewitt at 1st doubles played solid doubles and as they keep getting into the net they should keep winning some more matches. At 2nd doubles Derek Avery and Austin Hansen lost in the super tiebreaker 11-9. They did a lot of great things but once they keep attacking they will win some matches. Nick Terebayza and Noah Stein also won their first varsity match at 3rd doubles in straight sets. It has been one of the toughest seasons I have ever been involved with due to the snow and rain.

Coaches Corner

This is the first time where I am writing short memo on our website for what a group of senior players gave to our program. The core guys over the last 4 years have been Aaron Bauer, Drew Grimmer, Nate Bye and Jerod Musolf. Than Alex Fish came out to tennis from baseball and Adam Boyum started playing some varsity tennis matches. The guys got some more friends to come, Brad Crotty and others. In there 9th grade year the team had 8-12 record with improving each year after:  10th grade 10-10; 11th grade 14-8; 12th grade 21-7. At the start of this season the boys record since I have been coaching was 199-121 which now is 220-128. Individually the 5 guys listed above had a major impact in the accumulation of wins over the years 251 match wins and 138 match losses which equates to 65% wins. All of guys worked hard since their 9th grade year but look at the trends of Nate and Jerod on how they improved over their 4 years. There records over the 4 years are as follows:

                                             17        16        15        14

a.     Aaron Bauer                23-5     13-9     11-7     11-6      58-27

b.     Nate Bye                      23-4     12-7     8-10     3-5       46-26

c.     Alex Fish                      23-5     16-3     9-9      N/A      48-17

d.     Drew Grimmer           21-7     17-5     13-5     7-11       58-28

e.     Jerod Musolf               19-8     12-7     7-9       3-16      41-40

 

We are loosing some great leaders who made a great impact and led by example on the court. I wish all of our seniors best of luck and I know they will succeed in what ever they do. 

----------------------------
The Coon Rapids tennis team lost yesterday to Elk River 6-1 in the semi finals of 7AA. It was a great season where the players won 21 matches and lost 7. In the match yesterday we started outside than we got interrupted with rain and went indoors than moved back outdoors.  It was an honor to work with these great young men especially all of these seniors. They have led by example on the court and competed hard all of the time. The upcoming players will have some big shoes to fill. Our 3 captains did a great job all year. In individual sections Drew and Aaron won their first match in the semis to go to the finals where they lost to a great team from Grand Rapids. Than for true second they lost to Elk River. The tennis team results are as follows:

The boys tennis team beat Anoka yesterday 4-3 to advance to the semis against Elk River. Earlier in the year we beat Anoka 5-2 and I knew it was going to be close match. All of the matches were won in straight sets. It came down to Jared Musolf at 4th singles being the last match with meet tied 3-3.  Ever since moving Jared to 4th singles he has done a great job. I believe at first he wasn't sure if he wanted to but I told him this would be best for the team. The boys individual sections also started this week. In Singles Jared lost in first round match and Alex Fish won 2 matches and lost in the quarter to the #2 seed. In doubles Nate and Andrew won their first match and lost in the second round.

On Saturday the Coon Rapids tennis team finished their season at the Bob Pivec courts playing against Fridley, Roseville and Totino Grace. in the first round they went up against Roseville and won their match 5-2. I believe it was one of our teams best matches of the year. Roseville is solid team and it took all of our players to play their best. Second round the cardinals played against Totino Grace and lost 4-3. It was tough match where some of our players seemed pretty tired from their previous match. In the last round the team went up against Fridley and based on the weather conditions we decided to play the match as all doubles. We played pretty good in this match. Drew Grimmer and Aaron Bauer continued their winning ways when they play together. Jared Musolf won all 3 of his matches.

Today the Coon Rapids tennis team hosted it's first Round Robin Tournament at the Bob Pivec courts with Rogers, Saint Michael and Spring Lake Park. In the first Round the tennis team competed against Rogers and beating them 5-2. At first singles Drew competed in tough 3 set setter and lost in the super tie breaker. It was great watching Drew use all of his shots in his match. At 3rd doubles Tyler Hewitt our lone 9th grader on varsity and Brad Crotty 12th grade won an exciting match at 3rd doubles. They were down in the super tiebreaker and found a way to pull out a victory. In the second round the boys pulled out a victory against Saint Michael 4-3. This showed what our make up is of our players. With Aaron Bauer playing at 1st Singles, Drew Grimmer/Nate Bye at 1st Doubles and Brad and Jerod at 3rd doubles the match was tied 2-2. I was talking to our first doubles and as they finished their second set I told Drew and Nate we need this point. At the same time they told me we got you coach. Soon after 3rd doubles lost in a tight match, making the team score 3-3 with Aaron Bauer was still playing. In an exiting match Aaron pulled out a win which closed out a win for the tennis team. The player Aaron beat over the last two years has made it to the sections semifinals in individual competition. To have our 3 captains being involved in the two deciding points was very special, they sure lead by example. In the last round the tennis team beat Spring Lake Park 4-3.

Tennis team lost to Forest Lake 7-0 in which was one of our matches this year where I felt we did not compete to our highest ability. Drew Grimmer played a solid match loosing in 3 sets as well as 3rd doubles of Nate Murphy and Adam Boyum. With the tennis match and loosing it bumped us down in the section seeding process due to the loss. The results are as follows:

In the seeding meeting we received the 6th seed in which we would be hosting Cambridge. We were scheduled to play them earlier in the season which we got rained out. We started playing them on Monday and prior to the rain coming in we only got a few games in so we rescheduled for yesterday during the school day. One of our goals every season is too win at least one round in the sections. As the match was going it became apparent that we were going to win at 2nd and 3rd singles and Cambridge was going to win at 1st and 4th singles. Once singles were complete it was coming down to the doubles points. Next match complete was 3rd doubles with Adam and Nate. 1st doubles was playing a tough competitive match in which they won their first set 6-0, and than lost 2nd set 7-5. As the 3rd set was going our doubles team was down 3-0, I went out and talked to them on what I thought they should be doing. Once they implemented this they started wining more games and ended up with a 7-5 3rd set win and close the match for the Cardinals. 2nd doubles lost in a close 3 set match.

Upon completion the players went to get some food as we were going to head on a bus to play Chisago Lakes as they were the 3rd seed. Prior to the match I knew they were going to be good especially at their top two spots. These two players went to state last year and were solid players to build around the rest of your lineup. Drew Grimmer probably played one of his best matches even though he lost in straight sets. 1st and 2nd doubles lost their first sets and made some changes to their game and won the second set and 3rd set in a super tiebreaker. In being the second match of the day in highly tested match our players played a solid match and to end the season with a  record of 14-8 it was a good season. Today Nate Murphy, Tshwjzoo Moua, Spencer Juola, and Mark Daml played their last match for the tennis team. They have contributed at a high level and all had one at least one match during the season.

The Coon Rapids tennis team beat a feisty tennis team from Andover today. The tennis team won every first set in all of the spots and than the Huskies were determined to push the Cardinals. 5 of the points went to 3 sets so the score does not show how close the match actually was.

Tennis results from Coon Rapids Tennis torunament which took April 16. Going into the tournament I knew it was going to be a tough tournament with missing 3 players from our lineup. This opportunity gave other players the chance to play in the varsity lineup. In the first round we took on Roseville they beat us 4-3 winning at 4th singles and all of the doubles. We had some players playing positions that they normally won't be playing if we weren't missing the players we did. For example, Brad Crotty played first and we had a new doubles team at 3rd.  In the next round we played Fridley which had 4 points go into the the super tiebreaker, with Coon Rapids took 3 of 4. During 3rd doubles second set I talked to Jack if he wanted him his first varsity match and said absolutely. Jerod than said I want you too win also, they ended winning 10-7 and they were always up in the super tiebreaker. We ended up beating Fridley 5-2. In the last round of the day we played against St. Francis which is a new team in our section. We beat St. Francis 5-2 having 2 matches go 3 sets. Jerod and Jack won their section match together at third doubles. Aaron Bauer at 1st singles, Drew Grimmer at 2nd singles and Alex Fish at 3rd singles won all of their matches on the day.

Their tennis team is coached really good and they started out the match on fire. As the match continue several points at 2 and 3 singles were working their opponents by moving the ball around. Aaron Bauer lost in a close match at first by playing better in the second set. 2and 3 doubles won both of their tie breakers with second in their 2 set and 3 doubles winning the super tiebreaker after playing a smart 2 set. The tennis plays tomorrow against Blaine which will be another tough match at the Bob Pivec courts. Blaine has had our number over the last few years hopefully we can out on the wining side. The tennis team is 3-0 at this currently. The results are as follows:

Coon Rapids started the 2016 tennis season off with a win over Champlin Park 6-1. The boys tennis players started off by sweeping the singles in straight sets and winning 2 of 3 matches in doubles. The new doubles combination of Mike and Steven at first looks like a pretty good team at first doubles and with Aaron at first singles it should lead to some good points for our team. After bad weather through the first two weeks of the season we played our match indoors at Daytona tennis and golf. Next week we have 3 matches and 3 matches in our round robin tournament. There is plenty of work we need to do but it looks promising based on the work ethic our players have been exhibiting. Results are as follows:

1st singles   Aaron Bauer        Won       6-3, 6-1

2nd singles  Drew Grimmer     Won       6-1, 6-1

3rd singles   Alex Fish              Won      6-0, 6-1

The boys tennis team finished up their season by beating Champlin Park and than loosing to Mounds View. Against Champlin in the first round we took an early lead with 3 straight wins at 1st and 4th singles and 3rd doubles. The closing point was at 2nd singles from Aaron Bauer wining in the 3rd set. We lost 2 matches in 3 and won another match in 3 sets. In the quarter finals we lost to number ranked team Mounds View. They were as good as a team that I have gone against. Now that the sections are moved we will not be playing against them hopefully for a while. We ended up our season 10-10 with one senior in the top 20 spots.

Over the past few days the boys tennis team ended their regular season on a high note. They lost to top ten ranked team Elk River and than beat Totino Grace. In the Elk river the cardinals lost 6-0 with one match not completed. Ellis played at first singles and played the longest out of all of the singles in fact making several games going to deuce. The player Ellis played took 3rd in singles last year so he was a extremely good player. In the doubles 2nd doubles match did not completed due to rain and 3rd doubles lost what was a very entertaining match. On Tuesday the Cardinals were playing there last regular match of the season. During the seeding meeting on the night before Totino Grace was seeded 6th and Cardinals were 8th, there was a little incentive to try to win this match. Everybody played what I thought was there best match of the season, especially going into sections. Bobby Yang won in 3 sets which was the last match of the day. 2nd and 3rd singles lost but was some tough players they played against. Drew at 4 won pretty handily against his opponent. All of the doubles won which was great to see especially going into sections. Mike Fredrickson won his first varsity match of the season. One of our goals I have as a coach is to make sure everybody who plays varsity wins at least one match and that was great to see. In section play the Cardinals will be playing Champlin Park in the first round of sections with Champlin the 9th seed and Cardinals the 8th seed. Results are as follows:

The Coon Rapids Tennis team lost to Centennial 6-1. Going into the match I wanted to see how our doubles could do by placing different combinations together and to see how some players could do playing some singles. Centennial is tied in first place with Elk River and Maple Grove, which they haven't played yet it will be interesting to see how they do. All singles lost but there were promising points during the match. In doubles Aaron Bauer and Ellis lost in 3 sets showing that they can play against a doubles team that hasn't lost all season.

The Coon Rapids boys tennis on Saturday played in the Bob Pivec round robin on Saturday came away with wining all 3 matches. In the first round we beat Rogers 4-3 coming down to Tshwjzoo at 4 singles to win in the super tiebreaker. Prior to the super tiebreaker I told Tshwjzoo that match was tied and he was the deciding point. It was his first varsity win and what a way to do it. In the match all singles players won which was the first time all year. In the second round we beat Fridley with the surprise match at first doubles which was Nate Bye and Drew Grimmer. They were playing a team that had great shots and with our players keeping the ball in the court it made all of the difference in the world. The last match was against St. Paul Washington and the score was 5-2. All doubles won in straight sets which was great to see since we had different combinations.

The Cardinals started off section play against Park Center which was a close match last week. My hope is that when ever we play a team a second time first of all is that we win and second is that we win more points the second time around. We played a different lineup and what was great watching Aaron Bauer one of our many 9th graders win in 3 sets. In fact he won in 3 sets and last week he lost in 2. Jerod won for second day in a row and he has improved so much during the course of the season. With the win we will play Centennial at their courts I am hoping the players will play with confidence and give the Cougars all they can handle. Results are as follows:

 

1st singles     Kendall Setts 12      won     6-0, 6-2

2nd singles    Bobby Yang   11     lost      6-3, 7-5

Today the Cardinals played 3 matches in what was a perfect day. The matches helped me get a good understanding of the 3 lineups I could possibly use during section play. In the first round we played Roseville and we lost 5-2. We knew going into the match not having one of our top players it would be tough match, our two winners were Bobby Yang and Ellis Skye. In the second round we played Totino Grace who is in our section and it was an important match to win. Cardinals came out on top with 6-1 victory. Highlights were Dashaun Smith wining his first varsity match which I believe to be of many more to come. Also, Larsen and Jared won their first match, it just shows how hard work pays off. In addition it was Jared first varsity win ever. Last round we played Rogers who is also in our section and we talked about the importance of wining this match. Cardinals won this match 5-2 with Ellis Skye wining all of his matches on the day and everybody won at least once in the three matches. At the begining of the tournament I told the players about Mr. Kindle (Assistant Principal) on how he is battling cancer and the outcome doesn't look good. Normally before a match I give some owrds of encouragement and the players usually go 1,2,3 Cardinals. But today they said 1,2,3 Mr. Kindle, which I have never been more proud of a bunch of players in my life. Results are as follows:

Going into Blaine I knew it was going to be tough match with the amount of experience they have and I was correct. We lost 7-0 and as what has been happening lately we start off slow in the first set and make adjustments in the second. Once our players start believing in their abilities and put our action into play sooner we should start winning more points and who knows more matches.

The Coon Rapids Boys tennis team played their first match in over 1 week due to the weather that has been in the area. The boys tennis team played Osseo at their courts. Last year when Osseo was at Coon Rapids they beat the cardinals 4-3. We knew going into the match is was going to be a tight match and with the results it was. Highlights on the match was that at all spots we competed hard all the way through. Four matches went in 3 sets which the cardinals winning 2 and Osseo taking the other 2. Ellis and Drew won their first varsity match which I believe will be many more to come. In their second set in tie breaker they had several set points against them in the tiebreaker and found a way to win the points. One of the keys to the match that I discussed to the players prior to the start of the match was to get the serves and returns in, which they did in this breaker. Also Aaron Bauer won in 3 after loosing the first set started moving his feet and played lights out in the other 2 sets. Today the cardinals play against Blaine and tomorrow play in a triangular at Saint Michael. results are as follows:

Boys tennis team competed last week with their first two matches of the season coming up on the short end. First match Cardinals played 2nd ranked Maple Grove and lost 7-0 with first doubles being the closet of the matches. Our next match we also lost 7-0 to Armstrong. It was a match where we were very competitive but still came up on the loosing end. On this year's team we are extremly young with 3 seniors, 2 juniors, 2 sophmores and 4 freshman. In addition our second doubles are two players that have never played competitive tennis before this year. As we continue through the season we will be a good team and we need to bellieve in our ability and put into plan what coaching staff is wanting us to do.

Today the Cardinals won their first round 5AA section match against Totino Grace by beating them 5-2.

On Saturday the Cardinals played Centennial in makeup match. In another close match we had our chances like in several match earlier this week. If the guys start believing we could be a dark horse in the section tournament. Arsel playing second singles was in a very tight match before rolling his ankle in the tie breaker. Aaron Bauer won his first varsity match with Nate porter. I strongly believe this will be of many more to come in his high school career.  Hoc Vu had another 3 set match and also Kendall was very competitive in his singles match.

Last Friday Coon Rapids lost to Osseo 4-3. Going into the match I knew it was going to be a close match based on what Osseo had from last year’s team. Even with this being the case I put one of our top players Bobby Yang into doubles to get his confidence back up for the balance of the tennis season. As the season goes along still trying to find ways to pull out wins at 3^rd doubles. They are starting to play better but we need to win the key points. Arsel Husikic and Aaron Bauer are the two best 8^th graders and continue to show a lot of promise as they continue to win in their matches.  Overall team record is 4-4, results are as follows:

 

1^st Singles            Kendall Setts                      lost         6-2, 6-2

Bobby made some changes to his playing in the 2^nd and 3^rd set which was great to see. Muggys (Steven M) and Dan continue to play high level of play at 1^st doubles. Muggys is so aggressive at the net which is what we want out of our top players. Hopefully other players on our team will start doing the same thing.  Hoc Vu continues his winning ways by being undefeated in singles. Results are as follows:

 Last Friday the tennis team lost a tight match 4-3 to Armstrong who were 7-1 going into the match. The highlight of the match was watching Dan Jaeck winning his first match in a sounding matter. Bobby Yang won his second straight match 18-16 in a third set tie breaker and third doubles won again. Matt Tellander played another great match to Mark Conrad who is one of the top players in the conference. Last year our top player who played Mark lost 6-3, 6-0 which shows you how good Matt is playing against the top players in the conference.  Results are as follows:

The following day we played Becker who we beat last year 6-1. Going into this match I knew they would be good since they had everybody back from last year. We lost 7-0 also in this match with many closer matches than what we had against Elk River. Matt Tellander lost in a very close match loosing in the 3^rd set 6-4. Matt said he lost to the same player this past summer in two sets so he had his chances against him. Third doubles also lost in 3 sets making it a very close match. One of the highlights of the day was watching Aaron Bauer and Steven Yang 7^th and 8^th graders beat their opponents respectively. I overheard people talking that these players play in some of their Varsity lineups.  Results are as follows:

 

1^st Singles            Matt Tellander                                  6-2, 3-6, 4-6

2^nd singles            Bobby Yang                                        1-6, 1-6

The varsity tennis team lost its first match of the season to Elk River in which I believe was one of the best teams I have faced in many years. Elk river is so deep that a transfer player who went to state at Saint Michael played fourth singles against us, that is a deep team. In addition we had 6 players in the varsity lineup playing their first Varsity match what away to get experience. Varsity lost 7-0 with the scores as follows:

1^st Singles            Matt Tellander                                  1-6, 1-6

2^nd singles            Kendall Setts                                      0-6, 0-6

This past weekend the boys Varsity tennis team took second in the Cretin Derham Hall invite. The tournament was set up where each of the 4 singles and 4 doubles spots had to courts to play there 3 matches. The teams that participated were Cretin, Eastview, Hastings and our team. The challenging part of the tournament was the matches were at four different locations and having only one coach also added a twist. Highlights were Rumeal Setts winning two singles matches and beating a quality player from Eastview and watching him and Rob Storrick beat a quality team from

Cretin. Adam Nelson and Agassi Mila played 3rd and 4th singles winning 5 matches and loosing 1. Paul Klecker and Alex Krutchen played 3 very tough matches and they worked very effectively with each other looking like they are getting ready for sections. 1st Doubles and 1st Singles won 1 match each but lost all of their matches in the 3rd set (3rd set was a 7 point tie breaker).

Coon Rapids tennis team had two matches this week after 6 matches last week. Against Andover the Cardinals won 5-2 which brought yesterday’s match against Centennial who is one of the top teams in the state as well as in the section. The match started pretty quick with Centennial wining at

1st singles, 2nd and 3rd doubles and Coon Rapids winning easily at 2nd singles and 3rd singles. At first doubles Rob Storrick and Bobby Tellander and Matt

Tellander playing 4th singles. I couldn’t imagine what is was like for Mr. and Mrs. Tellander watching their 2 boys competing to win their spots for the match. Rob and Bobby won the first set 6-3 and the lost 3-6. At the start of the 3rd set I told the players that we need them to win as well at 4th singles. After I talked to them Rob and Bobby won 6-1 in the 3rd set. Matt played one of the more exciting matches since I have been coaching. Matt lost the first 6-2, then won 6-2 bringing him to 3rd set. Matt started behind the 8 ball down 3-0 in the 3rd set which was the deciding point. As match continued Matt was down 5-2 Coach Stearns made a couple of suggestions to Matt which he did bringing the set to 5-4. Matt was so mentally tough in this game Matt had 3 match points that he won the points and ended up winning the match at 7-5 on an unbelievable shot. I asked Matt if he knew he was the deciding point, Matt said “I thought it was close” and then he smiled.

 

1^st Singles Chad Stearns lost 2-6, 0-6

2^nd Singles Rumeal Setts won 6-1, 6-2

3^rd Singles Adam Nelson won 6-3, 6-1

4^th Singles Matt Tellander won 2-6, 6-2, 7-5

 

1^st Doubles Rob Storrick/Bobby Tellander won 6-3, 3-6, 6-1

2^nd Doubles Agassi Mila/Paul Klecker lost 0-6, 1-6

3^rd Doubles Alex Krutchen/Matt Morehouse lost 0-6, 4-6

Today Coon Rapids hosted the Bob Pivec tournament in one of the windiest conditions in recent memory. Throughout the day winds were in excess of 20 - 30 mph at the Cardinal courts. The tournament started out as a random draw where Coon Rapids drew Rochester Lourdes who are ranked Number 2 in class A. I was worried at first due to the tough matches we this past week against #4 Elk River and #6 Wayzata which led to two defeats. Rochester Lourdes at the top two singles spots have players who have gone to state, in fact there #1 was state champ last two years. Highlight was Rumeal Setts winning a three set match, 3rd doubles loosing in 3 set battle and Agassi Mila in tight match. In my opinion the results did not show how close the match was.The match results are as:

 

1st Singles Chad Stearns lost 0-6, 0-6

2nd Singles Rob Storrick lost 0-6, 0-6

3rd Singles Rumeal Setts won 6-3, 1-6, 10-8

4th Singles Agassi Mila lost 2-6, 3-6

 

1st Doubles Bobby Tellander/Adam Nelson lost 4-6, 3-6

2nd Doubles Matt Tellander/Hangi Lee lost 1-6, 0-6

3rd Doubles Matt Morehouse/Alex Krutchen 6-4, 2-6, 8-10

 

The next match we went up against White bear Lake who usually has a pretty tough team. The highlight for me was watching Jonathon Miller and Brandon Keller win at 3rd double for their first varsity win. During the tennis season Jonathon and Brandon work extremely hard and to win against White Bear Lake andshows how hard they have been working. Results are as follows:

 

1st Singles Chad Stearns won 6-1, 6-3

2nd Singles Bobby Tellander won 6-1, 6-0

3rd Singles Agassi Mila won 6-2, 6-0

4th Singles Adam Nelson won 6-0, 6-0

 

1st Doubles Rob Storrick/Rumeal Setts won 6-3, 6-1

2nd Doubles Matt Morehouse/Alex Krutchen lost 0-6, 7-5, 8-10

3rd Doubles Jonathon Miller/Brandon Keller won 6-2, 6-2

 

The last match of the day was against Minneapolis Southwest who beat us last year and we were playing them for third place. Every year Minneapolis Southwest has a very good team and after two tough matches were the Cardinals ready to face a tough match. I had some players that requested to play some different spots in the lineup and thought we would roll with the dice on this match. What was great was watching Alex Krutchen winning his first varsity match in singles and watching Rob Storrick play with a player he has never had in Matt Tellander playing a pretty good match at 2nd doubles. Also watching Agassi Mila win at 2nd singles a spot he has never played before winning was really great and especially listening to his brother Addison cheering him on. Addison is soon becoming our number one fan, thanks for your support we really appreciate it. I want to thank Mr. Tellander for helping with grilling today and taking various pictures through out the day. Results are as follows:

 

1st SinglesRumeal Settswon 6-0, 6-3

2nd Singles Agassi Mila won 7-5, 6-4

3rd Singles Adam Nelsonwon 6-4, 6-1

4th Singles Alex Krutchen won 7-5, 6-3

 

1st Doubles Chad Stearns/Bobby Tellanderwon 6-3, 6-1

2nd Doubles Rob Storrick/Matt Tellander won 6-3, 6-1

3rd Doubles Hangi Lee/Matt Morehouse won 6-2, 6-2

 

On the season the Cardinals are 9-3 with two matches next week. Great job today we found out that we have more flexibility in our lineup then I initially thought.

4/30/10

The boys tennis team came across an extremely tough opponent in Elk River. In the current rankings Elk River was #4 in the state in the latest polls. Highlights in the match was Rumeal Setts who won at 3rd singles 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a hard tough battle. Rumeal had to utilize all of his shots against his opponent to win his match. At 3rd doubles Alex Krutchen and Matt Morehouse lost a tough match at 6-4, 6-4. In each set they were up and Elk River battled back to take the sets. Results from yesterday match are as follows:

4/20/10

The boys tennis team continued their winning ways by beating Anoka today at their courts. We changed the lineups today to see how various players would by moving players up and playing players in singles versus doubles. The highlight for me today was watchinghow patient Matt Tellander was at 4th singles today. Those of you that have seen Matt play before knows he likes to end points quick but there were rallies of 20 shots or more on many occassions. Matt was working points in using all of his shots during his 6-2, 6-2 victory. It was also nice watching 3rd doubles bring up their intensity level up where they beat their opponents 7-5, 6-0 at 3rd doubles. The varsity team improved their record to 5-0 and 3-0 in the Northwest Suburban Conference. results are as follows:

The Boys tennis teamhad their most exciting win of the season by beating Maple Grove 4-3 at the windiest conditions of the year.

In the tournament we had 5 players that won their first varsity match ever. In my opinion, my highlight was watching Matt Morehouse and Greg Howells come back after losing the first set and down in the second to win their match. Also, Rob Storrick and Rumeal Setts semifinals match was good to see them moving in the net and placing their shots with precision. Many people were watching this match as they were battling. Next match is at the Cardinal Courts against Irondale on Tuesday at 3:00pm.
