State Tennis, Here we come!!!!

This year it was very important for Jared to make it to State Tennis! Randy comes home on May 15th and he is flying into Boise, because state tennis starts on May 15th! Cindy is also coming to see Randy come home, but she was also excited to see some state tennis. I'm sure Jared felt a lot of pressure to make it to state! He plays mixed doubles with Megan Dalley and they ended the regular season right at 500. District tournament started yesterday, and what ever happened in the season didn't matter any more, only what happened in the next few matches.

They ended up getting a really tough opening match against the Hillcrest #2 mixed team, and lost! Now things are getting really scary! Now the best they can do is 3rd place, which still goes to state, but they have to win 3 more matches.
Their next match was against the #2 Bonneville team. Jared and Megan started out like a steamroller and were up 2-0 when the heavens opened and it poured, and hailed and poured some more. We all ran for the car and were soaked to the bone by the time we got there!

They moved the matches to Apple Tennis Club, but we had to wait a long time to get on court. They were able to finish out the match 6-0, 6-0! Only 2 more matches to go!
The last match was against Rigby. We knew it would be a fight, there has kind of developed some bad blood between Jared and Megan and John & Lisa from Rigby. Jared and Megan played extremely well again and were able to pull it off!!! They won 6-4, 6-4 so it was tight, but they did it! Way to go! I am so proud of you! Boise here we Come!
