The Spartan tennis boys pick up a win against the Vikings.

   After a disappointing loss to George Washington on Tuesday, the boys' tennis team rebounded strongly beating North High School 6-1 on Thursday. “The team looked a lot better and you could tell that there was a lot more intensity in this match compared to the one against GW,” stated #1 singles Justin Blackburn. Fans could see the intensity that the team showed, winning almost all of their sets with only one loss coming against the #2 singles in DPS.

    “The team that came out against North this time is the team that hopefully sticks around for the rest of the season,” stated team manager Kaily Blackburn. With the momentum now in their favor, the boys look forward to carrying it over to their next match. They are now focused on the rest of the season with the idea of winning the city championship still fresh in their minds. The boys’ team is still ranked number four in D.P.S. and they look forward to bring up their ranking in the next couple of matches. If the wins keep on coming as they are now, the boys have a very good chance of doing just this. However, they will have to face some of the teams that have given them problems in the past. This would mean having to go head to head with fellow D.P.S. teams  East and George Washington.

    “Bring the same intensity to every game every day,” said #2 singles Robert Lampert. This seems to be the main goal of the team, if they keep winning the matches then their rank should go up in DPS, which gives them a better chance of getting into the State Championships. How they end their regular season determines how they will be seeded in the regional competition. The boys hope that this win will give them momentum to get a few more wins by the end of the regular season.
