Tennis Has A Tough Day

The TJ Tennis boys’ take a loss against the Conifer Wolves.
The boys’ tennis team took on a tough Confer Wolves team Wednesday, and they were unsuccessful, losing 0-7. The boys came out in full force, but they weren’t able to pull out a win. Conifer has always had a good team and they have always seemed to find a chink in the Spartan armor. This has brought down the Spartan hopes of getting a high ranking in the regional competition. They will have to win the majority of their upcoming matches to avoid facing either George Washington or East in the first round of regionals.
While the score may not reflect it, there were a few good things to take away from the performance. The number one single Justin Blackburn and number two single Robert Lampert both had strong performances against their opponents. In both of player’s sets, they were tied going into the last and final game, but were unable to pull of the total win. However, the sky is the limit for this team and there are still plenty of places they can improve, which would allow them to further their chances of getting a good seedfor regionals. “You can’t let one game or match get you down," said junior Andrew Briss. "You have to know that what has happened is in the past, and all you can do is use it for motivation in your next match.”
Tennis Runs Past Montbello

Boys’ Tennis pulls off a 6-1 win against the Warriors.
The boys’ tennis team took on Montbello and was able to come out with a very impressive 6-1 win. This proved to be the spark that the team needed after tough losses to Lincoln and East. The win against the Warriors raises their season record to 4-3. The team has performed for the whole season and they are proud of how they have played for the majority of it.
The chances of the team getting a good position in the regional competition is looking really good, for they have had some impressive wins against tough DPS teams. However, they have stumbled a little bit against the tougher teams in the division such as the George Washington Patriots and the East Angels. To get as far as the team hopes, they will eventually need to take on these teams again in the regionals and maybe even the state competition. “We aren’t worried about the regionals or even the state competitions, we are just focusing on finishing the rest of the season with as many wins as possible,” said number one single Justin Blackburn.
TJ Tennis Beats The Commanders

The tennis boys’ get their third straight win against Kennedy.
The boys’ tennis team took on a powerful Kennedy squad last Tuesday and were able to pull out a win, continuing their impressive winning streak to three games now. The current streak that they are on is proving to build the momentum among the whole team. “We are starting to come together as a team and it’s starting to show out there on the courts,” said number two single Robert Lampert. Looking at the team at the beginning of the year and now, you can see a huge difference in their overall confidence. Over their three game win streak, the Spartans have outscored their opponents by almost two to one. This has to be a confidence booster for the team. The Spartans look to keep the wins coming as they finish out the rest of the regular season.
Tennis Serves Up Another Win

TJ boys’ tennis beats a talented team from Denver Science and Technology
The Spartans, fresh off their victory against North, rallied to beat a talented Denver Science and Technology 4-3. The team was worried about this game, for the Denver School of Science and Technology had received a lot of praise over the years. All the praise that the team had received proved to be an overstatement as the Spartans didn’t let their opponents fame get to them. “Just because a team gets praise doesn’t mean they are unbeatable. You just have to worry about your game, not your opponents,” said one member of the number one doubles team Mitch Montgomery.
This seems to be a good motto as many of the Spartan players are continuously improving their game. They will need all of their players to be at the top of their game for the rest of their regular season matches. The Spartans carry a 2-2 record into their next match, and hope that the wins keep on coming.
