USTA Tennis Sectional Tournament in Oklahoma City in August 2008

Wayne’s senior tennis team represented Nebraska at the sectional tournament for USTA in August.  Interestingly all 5 teams (IA, MO, KS, OK, & NE) ended up with a 2 win-2 loss record in the round robin. Our Nebraska team had a slow start losing to Kansas and Oklahoma.  Then on late Saturday afternoon, we took on Iowa and won 3 to 0 then beat the Missouri team on Sunday morning.  The Iowa matchup was particularly satisfying since they were the team that advanced to regionals following the tie-breaker scoring.  Wayne teamed up with Jake, the team captain, and after losing the first set in a tie-breaker, we won the second set and the thrid set which was a 10 point tie-breaker.  It was great fun and competition.  Check out the photo gallery.
