(Finally something about me actually
playing a sport). The pressure was certainly on. No
one
in school history had ever won the CVC tennis tournament all 4 years of high
school. The person who came the closest to achieving this feat was my private
coach Rob Walker. The downfall of Rob came in his senior year losing his first
ever final at the CVC tournament. So obviously I did not want history to repeat
itself in the fashion that it did in 1999. My opponent for the CVC final was
Scott Adsit from Aurora. He was a very good player whom I had beaten 6 previous
times without ever losing to him before. Would the seventh time be a charm for
Scott? Our most previous meeting was a 2 ½ hour slugfest at Western Reserve
Racquet Club, coming down from 4-1 in the first set, and 5-4 in both sets to
win 7-5, 7-5. Fortunately for myself, in the CVC final I condensed that 2 ½
hours to 45 minutes, beating Scott 6-0, 6-1 in easy fashion. I had done it. I
became the first person in school history to win 4 CVC titles in tennis (3
Conference MVPs as well).
that was a good match and im glad i was there to see you kick some booty! (: good job guthguth !
