Hopkins took to the courts on a chilly, windy, Friday at Sterling Farms Golf Course, the home of our long time rivals: King School. There were impressive showings all around during this two-hour contest.

In the singles context, Max, Alex, and Bryan used consistent ground strokes and big serves to dismantle their opponents – no small feat, as each match showcased entertaining rallies despite the one-sided scorelines. Teo had a tougher time as every shot his opponent hit seemed to catch the line. He managed to keep his cool, and showed his experience by playing his best tennis during the most important points.

Doubles was a similar story: Andy and Jay managed erratic bounces and untimely net-cords with expertise, and sealed their match in a timely fashion. Lucas and Karun downed their opponents with a combination of low slices and heavy forehands. Jacob and Will showed nice touch and strong overheads in their win at D3.

After getting a good night’s sleep and eating a big breakfast, we will travel to Brunswick school to take them on tomorrow afternoon.

YEAH HOP!
