Whoopie!!! Orange Park’s 7.0 Mixed Team (captained by George Rodrigues) won their first playoff match against a strong Westlake team yesterday at Westlake’s home courts no less! The victory couldn’t have been sweeter. Last time they played, Westlake swept 0-3. Revenge is so much sweeter when you take it to your opponents during a playoff match!
Nettie and Simon had very tough opponents and couldn’t get pass the guy’s overheads. Stan and Claudia played very well against their 4.0 female and 3.0 guy. Even though it looked bad for OP at times, they came through!
Mike and Lee also played against a 4.0 female and 3.0 guy team, although many would insist the guy ain’t no 3.0! Nevertheless, with the deciding match on their shoulders, they came through in the 3rd set for The Win! They played great in tough windy conditions (not to mention overlooking bad line calls). Lee kept it in play in the back court and Mike took care of business on the short balls. Way to go, team!
Many thanks to those who came out to cheer for Orange Park (Lucy, George, Wendy, Tammy, Liz, Ed, Ernesto, etc). I think the noise and support unnerved their opponents. Their cheers were weak!
OK, don’t get cocky now…you have one more playoff match to go! Good Luck OP!
