Hopkins and Hillers boys tennis finished the regular season with a record of 16 and one in the first round of the MIA playoffs they took on Bishop Vian and ended up getting the sweep. H. Camdus was on the scene to catch up with the captains and pillarhead coach Michael Miller. All right guys so I understand that you have plenty to win here today. Can you talk about how your matches went today? Start over here. Match went great today. We all started off strong. I think nobody lost their first game and she looked great from the beginning. Yeah from what I saw like the first three games across the entire match everybody was up everybody was winning there were winning their matches and we ended up securing the securing win. What events did you participate in singles doubles? We both would singles today he's first and I'm second. You guys had a tremendous season when 16 and one I believe is your record. Can you win the TBL large from that mistake and can you talk about what it's been like playing with this group ball season? It's been it's been a great experience this year has probably been my favorite year among past four years on the team just because we all have like great connections with each other and we're all closed like super close to each other and it just makes our team even stronger on the court and off the court. We're all motivated to do well we're all motivated to win and we're all very encouraging of each other and we all want to help each other out as much as possible. And what were your thoughts on this Bishop V&T new play today? They're really strong great competition laid on in playoffs and because we're looking forward to later and to define some more competition too. Yeah I was expecting them to be very good when I looked at their record beforehand and they were indeed very good but we managed to keep them and I believe it's four three one right now we're up and we're just waiting on second doubles to finish their match. Alright guys we wish you the best luck, the rest of the postseason and hopefully many more playoff matches. Yeah good match up you know once you get into the tournament seeds only means so much you know we're fortunate to come in with the number one seed I think when you're there you know you're gonna get everybody's best for sure they came in somewhere around a 16 or 17 seed but they formed to be a much better opponent than that. Their number one was extremely strong. Did a little bit of read up on him you know one of the best players in the state and fortunately for us our number one Nallan Storm just played a fantastic first ever free game today to be able to come out on top and all the way down the lineup they had strong number two and you know from the standpoint of just being able to go out there and the kids played with a lot of confidence today I think that's big I think what's really important is that we're playing our best tennis going into the tournament and I feel like we're peeking at the right time. And you guys I believe when 16 and wonder in the regular season can you talk about what it's been like to coach this group? It's been a great ride. We're senior heavy so we've had a lot of these players for four years. I think this is one of the most cohesive teams that we've had so far with that senior leadership I think the younger players look up to them and they lead by example. They they make practices fun you know they go out and we try different things and they're learning a lot from each other I think which is really important when you have players that are high skill skill level players players that are mentally strong they understand the value of being together with their teammates on the court and off the court it really leads to a great blend of you know strong tennis as well as great team camaraderie and they've been a pleasure to coach all year. Alright coach we wish you the best of luck going forward and hopefully many more playoff matchups to come. Thanks Tommy we appreciate it.
