- 0:22[SPEAKER_00]: There were a couple of audio issues at the beginning where it skipped around.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: I missed a couple of things, but it's not very much and not for very long.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_00]: So please be patient with us.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_00]: And here is Tipton Tennis with Michelle Garmin as co-host.

- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you Greg.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_03]: We're here with co coaches Morgan Quinn.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_03]: Chrissy Dozel.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_03]: And we've got the tipped us number one and number two.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_05]: I would say.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_04]: good luck.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_00]: Who are the top players you've faced this year?
- 1:27[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I would say the best player I played would probably be Western's number one, even though it wasn't really his number one.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_05]: It wasn't number two, but he was, yeah, really good.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I
- 1:44[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you will know in May.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_03]: I think you guys have great long matches because you are so evenly matched.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be dark with us.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the two of you guys play a lot of points.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, we talked about Owen and some controversial calls, but with Evan and Owen May when they play, you see both of them playing balls that they could have called out, you know, and different things.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they they like to play shots.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_00]: Extra honest is what we call it.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just two great great kids being competitive and like you said, they're pretty evenly matched, so it's a fun match to watch.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_02]: They are in our conference, so we potentially will see them again next week in our conference survey.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_02]: But really, I think our boys are just really motivated this year.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_02]: They came out more this summer to play when we had open hitting opportunities.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_02]: They've been really focused at practices.
- 2:32[SPEAKER_02]: Last year we had a tough lost Alexandria and the sectional and so I think being that close and I'm in so many three set matches in a sectional match Really, I hope the guys up a little bit to let them see though.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_02]: We really are right there and so they're all coming back for the fire and I'm this year and Hope and come away with a sectional this year first on him.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_02]: It would be the first one ever and school history for the boys can have seen Chrissy, you know, I'm Of course, Morgan has played too, but you've
- 2:59[SPEAKER_03]: you've played a lot longer obviously Christie is Morgan's mother by the way if the those of you that don't know this and both Morgan and Chris know shame on you yes we're going crazy we're both tennis players at typical high school um Christie was in the late eighties but mid-late eighties nineteenies sorry shoulder really show me I would say so come on okay I'm gonna show you more I have the privilege of covering both of them when they play
- 3:28[SPEAKER_03]: I really did, and you know, as you, as you look at this team, because you've seen both of you run the summer program, but you've been around a lot of the male good male players have come through the years.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_03]: How do you rank the, how do you see these, this group?
- 3:46[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, your players are over there laughing at you.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think this group can do it.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have the motivation.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're athletic and they've worked hard this past year.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_01]: Like Morgan said last year, they just got that sour taste when we were so close and they've just been really determined and really believe in themselves this year, which is a big thing last year.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they really did.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_01]: And just all their work they put it in the off season, I think gave them the extra confidence that they believe it this year.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we have a good shot at it.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_03]: And we're not, only because, you know, we are kind of living and we don't want to go on for hours and as far as microphones are setting up, we brought the two players out that had to
- 4:27[SPEAKER_03]: the best records on the team.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_03]: But you also have, I mean, Peyton Aller and number three singles.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_03]: He's also got a winning top, you know.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_01]: And when you come from, he played doubles last year.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_01]: We moved ten to singles.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_01]: Love is competitiveness.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: And he's worked hard, you know, over the off season as well.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, those three at singles, you know, they're all great leaders.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_01]: They set the tone in practice.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, they show up and work hard in the summer.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_03]: Of course you had some tough dual matches this last week and everything and then Monday you go to Rossville correct and then conference so has the success especially for Evan and Owen that they've had during the season has that helped when it comes to
- 5:08[SPEAKER_03]: Sheetings and pairings for the conference tournament.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_02]: We actually just got the seedings and the brackets this afternoon and so all the boys kind of share their seeds.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_02]: But we were really happy with what came out this year last year.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_02]: We had a lot of lower seeds, but we have seen in the seedings this year the worth of the boys have put in and just their effort through practices and matches is really pain off as we have.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_02]: four of the five positions are playing on Thursday.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_02]: So the conference runs Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and the bottom seats play on Tuesday, and then everybody else joins on Thursday.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_02]: So.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_03]: Wait.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_03]: So where is comfortable tournament at this year?
- 5:44[SPEAKER_03]: Because I know it kind of can move around.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so conference for us is at Twin Lakes High School again.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_02]: So we've got a nice bar drive that we'll be making Tuesday and Thursday for sure, but we're hoping to make a third trip there next week on Saturday to play in the quarter finals.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: You just not spend the night between.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_03]: You just gotta make sure that activity bus does not have a leak and it's not raining.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_03]: It's a story.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_03]: I was driving them one time and I literally got soaked on the way on driving home.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's why you don't like to go there now.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_02]: So do you have anybody playing that on Tuesday?
- 6:21[SPEAKER_02]: Our one double steam will play on Tuesday.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_02]: And they'll play Hamilton Heights.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_02]: So it is kind of unfortunate that we're 15 minutes from Hamilton Heights and driving all the way to Twin Lakes.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_02]: That's just how the conference works.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: And you're making a few.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_02]: Both of the other Hamilton Heights teams are playing Tuesday as well.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so now I'm going to flip over here, and I'm going to go to Evan Coe, who's playing number one singles, and Evan, what is your season record?
- 6:49[SPEAKER_03]: I am 10-3.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_03]: That is in singles, and I said that because Evan and Owen played number one doubles in one of their matches against Western.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: if people sit there and say and they count up what you record as well that's why they're not playing finals western team yeah I think we lost what oh six one six challenging points what would you learn from it?
- 7:15[SPEAKER_04]: that they're good yeah they definitely have a ton of experience than what we saw but yeah
- 7:23[SPEAKER_03]: So Evan, 10 or 3, so who, what seed did you get for the conference and who did you draw?
- 7:30[SPEAKER_05]: I got the 4 seed and I play Benton Central.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, Evan went to the individual, he advanced in the individual section two years ago.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_03]: and he suffered a tough law.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_03]: What three set lost to Alexander is Owen May, last year.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, then the other night, he kind of lost again in three sets to May.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_03]: But do you feel like, because I think last year, he had beaten me during the regular matchup, right?
- 8:05[SPEAKER_03]: So now do you feel like it's an advantage for you?
- 8:07[SPEAKER_03]: Did you learn you think you learned a lot?
- 8:09[SPEAKER_03]: That'll help you when you get to this section in a couple weeks?
- 8:12[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I do because I figured out I understand how he plays now after playing him so many times.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_05]: How he works.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_05]: He likes to hit to the back corner a lot.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_05]: And I just knew adjust to that.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_05]: And if I just play powerful, how I should usually play, then I think that.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_05]: And I don't get in my head as much.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_05]: I think that I should be able to win.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_03]: what area of your game do you think you've improved in the most from last year to this year?
- 8:41[SPEAKER_05]: I think my ability to get to balls, my ability to just stay in points longer and have more stamina.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_03]: How did you, okay, I'm gonna go back to next week or a quick.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_03]: So you open with bit in central, if you beat bit in central, then one of the winner of West Lafayette Western?
- 9:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, most likely.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so what's your goal going into next week?
- 9:05[SPEAKER_05]: I'm hoping to, at the very best, be a all-conference, yeah.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, Owen, just too lost as for you, my correct?
- 9:19[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_03]: And one, the second loss, the first loss was two Western.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_03]: Second loss was also to Eleg and it was tough, it was a little controversial.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_03]: There were some close, uh,
- 9:33[SPEAKER_03]: Those calls.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_03]: There will just be a bit of that.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody who has played high school tennis knows exactly what it is saying.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_03]: And in big moments, that's always hard.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_03]: Now, because you've experienced that, what tell me what you kind of learned to where if kind of some of that same type of thing would happen down the road, would you, did you learn anything to how to handle that?
- 9:58[SPEAKER_04]: Well, definitely, I mean, no one's perfect.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, there are some calls that can be kind of confusing, but I mean, it's definitely a mental game.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_04]: You got to stay positive throughout all of it, and it was a hard time for me, and it just got to be there at that part for sure.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_03]: So that's the most frustrated.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen you play this season and I get that because I play tennis and I had experience that too and so I just know it is can be difficult to tell us real quick then we're going to go to your conference and we'll go back to some of our work that you're seeding and who are you playing first?
- 10:32[SPEAKER_04]: I'm the three seed at conference and I'm playing Rinselear first.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_03]: Okay and you've already played Rinselear.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I have a Delphi.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_03]: And I think you two sets, right?
- 10:42[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's 56 or at those 60s.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's 6-1-6 so maybe I don't have 6-1-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: They're on conference opponents.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_00]: They're so far over.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they usually do have a good guys to us team.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_01]: So they're usually in the top half of the seating every year.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so We'll go back to him, so we can get all of them real quick.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to Chris.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_03]: You want to tell us the seatings for
- 11:28[SPEAKER_03]: payton and your number two doubles teams and who they're playing first.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_02]: Payton all our three singles.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_02]: He got a two seed this year, so we're pretty excited about that.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_02]: And he will play seven seed from Logan's four on Thursday and then hopefully pay him pulls out that win and hopefully the winner of Central Catholic and Twin Lakes.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_02]: And then I mentioned earlier that the one doubles got eight seasons of the play Hamilton Heights on Tuesday and then our two doubles team pulled out a four seed as well and so they will play West Lafayette who's a five seed on Thursday and then if they win then it will likely be Western but could be rinse later or Hamilton Heights too just depending on how things play out.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_03]: I know you've been successful because your freshman year you played three singles you had success and then you know last year but for the season that you had have had so far.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_03]: I mean because what you were 11 and noble for you, suffragier.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, last year.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_03]: What's been the big difference for me?
- 12:26[SPEAKER_03]: What part of your game do you think has really come on?
- 12:29[SPEAKER_04]: Well, as the coach has said, give a lot of work this summer and I've been in a couple tournaments and I would say, best thing I've gotten at is placing the ball.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_04]: I think I've was never really good at that as the last year, last two seasons, but I think I've gotten so much better at that and coaches have helped me out through it all.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_04]: water with your approach for next week you can answer that and then I kind of want the nav and can answer that um well as I've played him I said in Delphi um just kind of honestly rush out to the net play him from from the get go be aggressive and just keep the ag- yeah I've been aggressive at him I would say just going out the gate like hard and because I have nothing to lose this is my senior year
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: could be a little harder on Evan than, you know, just because, you know, we're so close to Amy.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_01]: And we know the potential he has, and so, you know, just keep it in the right mindset.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_01]: You know, sometimes, you know, difficult, because he gets down on himself, or he just, you know, he wants to win, and wants to do his best, and so just really keep it him mentally in the game as, you know, his whole, whole deal.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_03]: We know, and it's no, and it's no disservice to the four young men that have played doubles and played doubles, but if you were to win the section, the win, the first boys team section and I don't know how long it's going to come from you sweeping the singles, based on when you look at the other teams and their strengths.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_03]: So what kind of pressure
- 14:06[SPEAKER_03]: does that put on and I'll start with you on what do you feel extra pressure going into the sectional knowing that it's for the team to advance and really for you to advance is you can only advance as it's with the team to respond to.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_03]: So does that put extra pressure on you to win?
- 14:21[SPEAKER_04]: Not really, I mean, so you gotta have faith in your team.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's not just all about the three singles.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they're still very high hopes for one in two doubles.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, just because they haven't had a good year doesn't mean, you go into sexual's being zero and zero.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_04]: So it's not really any pressure to be honest.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_00]: And...
- 14:37[SPEAKER_00]: really all you can do is play the guy across from you.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_00]: One concern, exactly.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_00]: If you think about it team wide all the time, really, your job is just to be the one.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and when our lose, I mean, you still got your on your teammates, because if I lose, then I mean, you still got to have helped hope that they win.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, just because I'm two singles, and then I can't move on, doesn't mean I can't still cheer on my teammates at all.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_00]: And my question was related.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_00]: How much time have you guys spent this year?
- 15:06[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm asking all of you, tracking what Frank didn't Alexander and how would have been doing.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, we haven't spent a whole lot of time worrying about other teams.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_02]: We've got a great group of guys that are showing up every day, put in the work and as coaches we've got faith in our guys that- We've got checking them out.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_02]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_02]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_00]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_01]: We've got checking them out.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously we lost, you know, we opened the season with Frankden, we lost, you know, what was the season 3?
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: I've been going actually both while being a single spot.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_01]: So we have pushed up the lineup since then as well.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_01]: Alexandria, we lost one four?
- 15:50[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 15:51[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we lost five.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we lost five.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_01]: But they were a follow-up.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we definitely, yeah.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: So we definitely have worked to do before sectional.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, the guys we like that, and they've been working hard at practice.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, we'll see how it goes.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how it goes.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's when quick.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a week from Monday, right?
- 16:08[SPEAKER_03]: And our week from like, to Wednesday, right?
- 16:11[SPEAKER_02]: This coming weeks from this coming Wednesday.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_02]: So we've got conference next week, and then another week of matches and then sectionals.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we have in sectionals that Alex Andrew this year.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_02]: And we're like, and schedule wise, like it's going to be a Wednesday, Thursday, why not?
- 16:24[SPEAKER_02]: Per sectionals with initial matches on Wednesday.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_02]: And then the championship on Thursday.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_00]: Have you faced out with this year?
- 16:32[SPEAKER_01]: We have, um, because I know there are a lot better than that.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, um, we won for one.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I'll let this here.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, what else would has done that, and they've took their number one in two singles players.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_03]: It was sophomore, um, meme canon in junior Jackson Gordon.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_03]: and they've team them up and they're playing number one doubles and I think that and yes, and that's their best team wise.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_03]: It hurts them, but as far as for success to get somebody on, that's their best way to do it.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, those are coaches who are looking out for the best interests of their kids.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and so and of course coach Kelly is always going to be doing that Yeah, and he he's got the uh another sophomore drink drink Cassada up at number one singles and you know he was playing number three singles Yeah, it's all But the one thing about Cassada, you know that and now Evan played him he is not like overpowering, but I mean He's he's not
- 17:31[SPEAKER_03]: He's kind of scrappy.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he's got some quickness of good torque coverage.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't hit a lot of went either.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't have a lot of power or anything as a sophomore, but it's for Elwood.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_03]: That's their best plan.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: And when when you face teams, the number one singles players almost always good.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes the two and three players are really good too.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_00]: Evan playing a number one single schedule is just incredibly difficult, isn't it?
- 17:57[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it really is.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_02]: Evan is one senior you want to tell us what your other seniors are yeah so we've got four seniors this year Evan being one of them and then at one doubles we've got Isaac americaos who's a senior and then we've got two doubles great and day who's also a senior and then we've also got Henry Wallace who is another senior that's seen a little bit of our city time this year so we'll be graduating for you guys this
- 18:22[SPEAKER_02]: coming year and you have seven total out right nine nine to that's right nine to seven play that's right nine so losing four that brings five so you just have to come up with at least two next year correct yeah a couple others the boys have told us that they're out there recruit and trying to get people today at practice actually Owen was holler and some kids they were going by that they should come out and play tennis with us what's the middle school landscape and so we are one of the only schools around that does not have a middle school program unfortunately
- 18:51[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I asked the question that way.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_02]: So hard to tell what's going to be coming up through the middle school with our summer tennis program.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_02]: We see some middle schoolers come out to that, but we not have any middle school program that kind of hurts us.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_02]: There are so many of the programs around this habit.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_02]: So they are teaching those skills and being able to improve on those skills from that age where sometimes when we get players come out as a freshman, they may have never picked up a tennis rack outside of school PE class.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_02]: So we're sometimes having to start with the basics.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: Or like when I played tennis, I just kind of went out there and winged, and you're getting some of that night, and you got out on the tennis court and just slam the ball.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: Well, in this year we have a junior that had never played before, you know, picked up a racket until the summer.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_03]: So, coaches, what, how do you see the rest of the season?
- 19:37[SPEAKER_03]: Because I, I know Ross, Rossville, on the road at Rossville, on the road for conference.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_03]: Actually, so then the following week, what,
- 19:45[SPEAKER_03]: How do you just schedule kind of go as you're ending this season?
- 19:48[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so the week leading into sectionals.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_02]: We've got Hamilton Heights, which will be a home match.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_02]: And that'll be a fun night that we get to celebrate our four seniors.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_02]: And then we'll play Eastern.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_02]: And then we'll see Frank Jen again right before the sectional.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_02]: So we start our season regular season with Frank Jen at an invitation.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_02]: And then we'll be ending our regular season with Frank Jen again.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_00]: And Eastern has a really nice team, right?
- 20:08[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yeah, they do coach flaner and he's done a great job with all those guys and they spend a lot of time out at the tennis center there in green towns, so they definitely put in the work to
- 20:17[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I want to thank Christie Morgan and Evan for joining us on the podcast today and Owen who had to slip out of here a little bit early, but yeah, I want to thank all four of them for showing up.
