We're trying to practice on them, but you couldn't play a challenge match. When the ball hits, you don't know where it's going to go. You can't have a competitive match like that.

Both of those guys played extremely well. Those two are going to play a challenge match this week for the No. 2 singles spot in our upcoming tournaments. It will be an interesting week of practice.

Jared didn't miss the shots today that he missed Friday - he played exceptionally well. The kid from Quincy didn't play as well - he was trying to hit it too hard. But Jared did a good job of staying patient and under control.

We're playing pretty well right now. We have a quality team, and when we play a tournament like we did today with reduced numbers - two singles matches and three doubles matches - we're pretty competitive.

It's a challenge, because we typically have one week of practice before Christmas and then one week before we get into our games. The kids improved significantly throughout the season. It's always a challenge for us because there are so many other things to do in Steamboat.

They've been trying to put corn in our gas tanks but we don't have the vehicles to burn it.
