JS Tennis wins HVAC Championship

On a beautiful if blustery fall afternoon, the Junior School tennis team successfully defended its HVAC title, prevailing over stiff competition from Ensworth, Brentwood Academy, and USN.
 
The overall results made the contest look deceptively comfortable - MBA took 4 out of the 5 titles and 9 of the 15 possible team points. However, the margins were exceedingly fine in all directions - had just 2 more games at #1 singles gone our way, we would have swept all 5 lines: had just 3 more games at #1 and #2 doubles gone Ensworth's way, we would have been runners-up overall. With the number of games that went to deuce in these matches, any of these alternative outcomes could easily have happened.
 
Every player on the team contributed at least 1 point to the team score, and everyone - starting lineup and supporting cast alike - deserves credit for their sportsmanship and enthusiasm. Our season will conclude with an invitational contest against McCallie on Monday at Sewanee as we look to post an undefeated season.
