Turkey Time
Let's see how do you stop a hot streak? Well I hope it's not by putting in a bye week because of Thanksgiving. Because we are Hot. This weeks win makes it 6 team wins in a row. We took 4 out of 5 matches this week playing against Lexington. (Ah didn't it say Willows in last weeks post?)
Our one loss this week came way down on a noisy court 5. Where Mickey and George just ran outta time. With a few more clicks on the clock they could've pulled out the third set for the win.(6-3,6-7,3-2)
The Wins this week with the exception of court one were quick. Court one decided to make it interesting with Paul and Courtney again allowing the match to come down to Courtneys last service game with no time on the clock. Which he held to take the win by games.(4-6,6-2,4-5)
Court 2 saw the undefeated team of Tony and Don beat up on their opponents winning in straights.(6-2,6-3) Next to them on court 3 the also undefeated team of Mike and Chad crushed their competition with stinging volleys and high powered groundstrokes.(6-3,6-1) Over on 4 The other undefeated team of Gary and Todd breezed through the first and third sets to take the win.(6-1,4-6,6-1)
Next week you are free to shop and Eat.. Then it's back to the grind for 3 more weeks. Where we will be playing that Willows team I was talking about last week.

Cedardale is Closer
It was a long drive but it was worth it. We came away with the win and improved our win streak to 5 matches. Chad also re-upped some contracts for next years 4.0 season so it was a good week.
Court 3 saw a tough match with Paul and Dean just not able to get the tough games losing in straights (6-3,6-4).
That was the Highlight for Winchester. So Andy S, if your reading look away now.. it's gonna get ugly.
Now onto the wins! Over on court 5, Don and Tony playing a little lower than usual smoked the competition 6-3,6-0. On court 4 Chad and Mike both picked up their first win of the season defeating fellow 4.0 teammate Wayne S. With a scary second set.(6-2,7-6) Court 2 Saw Andy and Todd pull out a close, flip a coin match, (6-4,7-6) With Andy doing all the hard work. In the Number 1 position Dan and Courtney took no Mercy on Fellow Cedardale member and 4.0 teammate Andy S. Allowing the winchester team few chances in a(6-2,6-1) win.
Good Luck to Dan and Dean, They will be playing in the National mixed this weekend in sunny Orlando. Bring home a Gold Ball!
Next week we play one of the Top Willows teams at home. So be ready we don't want to lose this streak.

Future Team Member
Congratulations to Adam and Jessica on their New Son Alexander. We all hope that they are doing well and look forward to seeing them both on the courts soon. Now Adam has no excuse for sleeping late since we know that he won't be sleeping at all. Alexander will be our newest team member in just 18 short years. Unless of course he's on tour.
Adam Your doing it Wrong!

Triple Fault
We have run our win streak up to 4 weeks now. This could be a record. Although this weeks win was pretty easy considering that Winchester decided to pay us back for our defaults from a few years ago. Winchester must have been flooded, because only 2 teams showed up.
So on Court one Dan and Bob had no trouble winning.(6-3,6-3) And over on Court 2 Paul and Courtney decided to make up for the ease in which court 1 won. They proceeded to lose the first set, squeak the second set out in a tie breaker, and being down what amounted to 3 match points in the third. Pulled out the WIN. (3-6,7-6,3-0) Luckily for them, it would've sucked to have been the only team to lose. ;-)
This gives us 25 points, which is what the 4th place team had last week. Also I have linked the Leagues Homepage with standings and schedules over in the links section.( to your right)
Now onto next weeks match. We are playing the other half of our 4.0 team. Seems some of our 4.0 teammates like playing way down in Winchester. Let's try to convince them that Cedardale is closer!

3 in a row
Ok I'm a little late getting you our scores for the week. But I have a good excuse. The Ban on Coors has now been lifted. The Sox tapped the Rockies 4 straight and the Pats are 8-0. Woo Hoo. Ok now onto the important news.
We took 5 points this week. Beating the slumping Bass River team 4-1. Narrowly missing a sweep by the hand of time. On court one Courtney and Paul had the only straight set victory. Starting off slow they picked it up and won.(6-4,6-1). Court 2 saw 4.0 teammates Bob and Andy start off a little out of sync, but they quickly regrouped for the (2-6,6-3,6-1) victory. On the court furthest from the audience (3) Don and Tony had a slight let down in the second set. But bounced back and took the third by a break.(6-2,2-6,6-4). Way over on court 5, George made his debut this year in grand fashion. partnering up with Todd they took another win for the team in 3 sets. outlasting their opponents in the third. (7-5,3-6,6-1)
Court 4 saw our only defeat this week. Mickey and Dean(ed: still on Vegas time) Lost a close one in three not quite finished sets. Needing only a couple of more minutes to close out the third, the buzzer sounded for the loss.(6-7,6-2,3-5).
Next week we play Winchester at home. Let's keep the streak going!!

Freaky Saturday.
What a weird week. I'm 0 for 2 setting up tennis this week. With Gary missing the practice on Tuesday and then George getting the Mike Mackay* award this week, it's a miracle we pulled out a win.
Oh yeah we Won this week.. This puts our season high winning streak at two. We won this week 3-2. It gives us 14 points for the season out of a possible 30. So point wise we are below .500.
Court one saw the First victory of the season for Adam and Courtney. They outplayed their opponents at the net and took a 6-4,6-4 straight setter. On Court number dos Paul and Todd won a tight 6-7,6-4,2-1 match. Paul is still alive despite Todd's 20mph serves and the bruise Todd received from Pauls return is healing fine. Our 3rd win came from the Money Team of Mickey and Dean who just refuse to lose winning in straights for the first time this year 6-3,7-5. ( Guys your gonna move up).
Our one loss this week came on court 3 where Tony and Mike ran into the energizer bunny. No matter how many winners they hit the ball kept coming back till they lost.(6-4,6-4). We had a default on court 4 due to some bad captaining. Like I said it was a weird week..
Next week we are in Bass River for an Away match of Epic proportions... See they have this new thing in Bass river called shot spot!! So no complaining about calls. Hopefully it measures ball speed because I would love to see 100mph. Not from my serve of course, but my return.
*last year in the first match of the season against Northeast Mike went to Northeast instead of Cedardale.

It's a Win
Ok I'm a little sleepy after staying up till basically 2am watching the Red Sox give the game away by putting in the (c)loser Gagne. So I'll keep this Short. And skip posting the Scores ;-)
What a great week the team had. We pulled out a 3-2 victory over the strongest Winchester Team. We also managed to get 4 points. That's a full 2/3 of the points that we had accumulated in the prior 3 matches combined.
Teams 3,4, and 5 won it for us this week. Over on court 3, Paul and Courtney rolled to the 3 set victory after giving up the first set. Courts 4 and 5 saw both matches come down to time. Don and Tony split the first two sets and then ran up a 3-0 lead in the third to take it on games. Over on 5 Dean and Mickey again lost the 2nd set(this time a lot closer than in the past). Then ran up a 5-2 lead in the third before the Bell rang and they had to settle for the win.
At court 1 Dan and Bob played a close two sets. Facing match points in the 2nd set tiebreaker Bob held and forced a third set. The only problem was that their was no time left and they ended up losing by one game. On court 2 Andy and Todd lost bad... How Bad?? So bad that Todd's rating now has a minus sign in front of it.
Next week we are at Northeast. A couple of our teammates are in California to play there Nationals. Good Luck Dan and Bob B. Don't forget "Out in Front"
