COUGARS CHARGE THROUGH CHANTILLY 8-1

On what was probably the best weather day for tennis this season, the Cougars took on the Chargers.

Singles began with Adrien on 1 playing Jeff Li.  It was the best match of the day.  Lots of grinding points that showcased the talent on both sides.  Neck and neck until Adrien pulled away and took the court 10-7!  Court 2 brought Vishal a tough opponent in Josh Melynk.  It was tight through the first 1/2 of the set, and then Josh ran away with the final games.  Meanwhile on 3-6 the Cougars were up early and really never looked back.  All 4 were won decisively.  Thanks to Nicholas, Josh, Tommy, and Alex.  Doubles also went the Cougar way with Tommy/Reed on 2 playing a very focused and thoughtful match, 10-2, and the Twins on 3 getting their W, although letting a new more games go, 10-5.  Adrien/Vishal on 1 were on serve at 5-4 and only let one more game go.  W at 8-5.  The math says we won 8-1!!!!

Thanks to our exhibition players who won every match tonight, as we have come to expect....

Snack families get kudos for continuing to bring plenty of food for the team.

Tomorrow practice at 2:30.

Cougars take down Centreville this afternoon 9-0!

Windy and cold described the weather today at Centreville HS.  The team took the courts with high spirits and without our top 3 players.  Didn't matter....  Thanks to Josh who played #1 today!  Look out Adrien!   Tommy at 2, Alex at 3, AV at 4, Reed at 5, and BPa at 6.  All convincing wins.  Doubles went to 8 games and Tommy/Reed on 1, The twin towers on 2, and YEA Michael and William on 3.  3 dubs bageled their opponents.

It looks easy on paper, but the wind forced our cougars to work hard and focus.  They had to really think about strategy and play smart!

Also as usual our exhibitions went well.  Everyone had a win today, and Calvin had a partner, AV, who used his wooden racquet!!  Yup, for real!

Practice tomorrow @ 2:30

COUGARS WIN @ HOME AGAINST THE RAMS 8-1

On the best weather day this season our Cougars take down the rams on all 6 singles courts!  Thanks to Adrien, Vishal, Josh, Tommy, Alex, and Avery V.   With 6 decisive wins in the bag, Oakton wins the match....

Doubles start with the twin towers, Alex and Charlie,  literally plowing through the opponents and another 10-1 W.  2 Dubs with Tommy and Reed is the usual game for game in the first quarter, and then the break away for a solid 10-4 win.  Court 1 got off to a seriously slow start, down 2-7,  and made their way back to 7-9 before running out of time!

Our cougars playing exhibitions also had their share of winning!  Thanks as always to our parents who are our biggest fans and bring food!

WIN AT WESTFIELD!! 8-1 TO OUR COUGARS

This afternoon the team brought in our 5th regular season win!

Thanks to our singles players, Avery V. on 6, Big D (Alex) on 5, Tommy on 4.  Each of these three didn't lose more than a game!  Josh on 3 had a fairly long match with drawn out exhausting points.  They were even through the first half before Josh put the pedal down for a 10-5 win.  We have four wins at this point.  Nicholas on 2 worked steadily and played a smart game and kept his opponent to 2 games!  That's 5 and the match is officially over.  Vishal on 1 had a slow start and went down to the opponent he beat the first time they played.

Doubles brought us 3 more wins with Vishal/Tommy on court 1 winning 10-4, The twin towers on court 2 taking almost all the games (minus 2!), and newcomers K.Liu/Patrick on 3 winning at 10-2 as well!

Congratulations to all our exhibition players!  With Westfield having only 2 extra players,  many of you played your teammates.  It might have been the most competitive tennis of the day!

Thanks to Mr. Mummareddy for bringing both ice cream and pizza to our hungry young men.  The weather cooperated a good day was had by all!  Enjoy the weekend.

Oakton Cougars overpower Chantilly Chargers 6-1

On what could have been a rainout day, our Oakton Cougars take down the Chargers with 5 singles wins.  Thanks to Adrien, Vishal, Josh, Tommy, and Avery.  Courts 1, 4, 5, and 6 worked over their opponents efficiently and without event.  Nick on 3 had a very tough match against Josh Melnyk and got 5 games off him.  Vishal on 2 had the match of the day with Sean Moran.  He was down 2-5 early and got it back on serve .  From there it was neck and neck with breaks of serve.  At 8-9 Vishal held to bring it to 9 all.  He then broke and went on to serve out the set at 11-9!  Very exciting tennis.    Dub's 3 got in the win (10-1) to make 6 wins before the sky opened up and ended the day.  

All the Cougars playing exhibition got another W for the match!!  Nice job.

Thanks to Calvin for the pizza.  Also thanks to the fans and family who came out on a not so nice afternoon to see some entertaining tennis!

OAKTON WINS @ HOME AGAINST C'VILLE 9-0!!! CONGRATS TO OUR COUGARS

After hours of wondering if we would get the match in,  the mist stopped falling, and the wind blew the courts dry.  Centreville got to Oakton late, and the match didn't begin until 3:45.  All 6 singles courts were won by Cougars in under an hour.....  with no one losing more than 2 games.  Pretty impressive.  Thanks to Vishal, Nick, Josh, Tommy, Reed and AV!

Dubs followed with similar success.  Court 3 started off early with the big men, Charlie and Alex.  They imposed themselves on young players who looked fairly overwhelmed.  A big 10-0 followed.   Court one had a fun match with good opponents who enjoyed the moment.  Court 2 also made quick work on their court and that made for 9!

Every exhibition match was won with room to spare, and Pizza was had for all!

Thanks to the fans and family who braved the early spring weather.  Let's keep fingers crossed for decent weather on Friday when we play Chantilly at home.

ROUT AT ROBINSON!! Oakton wins 7-2

It was a great day for Cougar tennis!  The boys traveled to Robinson HS and took it to the Rams.  Winning 4 of the 6 singles matches put us in a position of just needing one doubles!  Nice, right?  Better when your doubles teams are determined and solid.  Even with a few slow starts, we took all the doubles for a team win of 7-2.

Thanks also to our many talented players who are currently playing exhibition,  and who are close to making the varsity matches.  You are integral members of the team and give me so many options.  Keep playing well.

Lastly thanks to our parents and fans who cheer us on and FEED the boys!

TUESDAY MARCH 24 - SEASON OPENER AGAINST WESTFIELD HS

Tomorrow is the season opener against Westfield.  Match time is 3:30 at OHS.  I hope to see some of you out supporting the team!

Trying to prepare and set the lineups for both singles and doubles has been a challenge so far in the early going... The weather has not been kind for tennis, and many of the players have already been out due to illness, dental appts., and most often tardy because of numerous make-up tests.  Today more than a third of the team missed practice.  I am asking for help in this area.  Parents please remind your son that missing practice means lost opportunity to challenge for a varsity match.  It will matter on match days.  Tomorrow I will go with the results that I currently have, and these will likely change with more challenging/practice days.

Many thanks to May Wu for getting our team uniforms in time for the first match!!  Awesome job.  Additionally thanks for arranging the team snacks.  Much gratitude to Sara Olsen for taking on both booster and banquet rep. positions.  It will take assistance from every family to reach our goals, and cover the team's needs.  Please contact me if you can help out in any area, or if you have questions/concerns.

Lastly, thank you for encouraging your young men to challenge themselves in life and in sport.
