Solid Saturday

Over the weekend, the boys were split three ways for some solid competition.

At the Schaumburg JV Invite, the Golden Eagles fought hard but had little to show for their effort, falling to McHenry, Schaumburg, and St. Ignatius.

At the Lake Varsity Invitational, several players stepped up with outstanding effort. Highlights include Kevin Searle's 5th place finish at 2nd singles and the 3rd place finish by freshmen Patrick Murphy and Jack Nickoley.

In Frankfort, the boys faced a great field of competition at the 24-team Lincoln Way-East Invitational. Despite tough draws and stiff competition, the Golden Eagles were led to a third place finish on the backs of Kendrick Chong's championship run and the outstanding performance of Kyle Powell and Will Liby who, unseeded, fought through a loaded field to reach the third place match. In their fifth match of the day, KP and Willy saw three match points erased before racing to a dominant third set performance to clinch a top three finish for the team.
