Fall 2008 Season
At Least The 3rd Best Team In Missouri
The boys went to Fulton, Missouri for Sectional play. They quickly defeated the host team (Fulton High School) 5-0 in the morning; and then @ 1:00 PM, the Wildcats took on MICDS. The boys played well and gave MICDS great matches on every court. While Gregory Schoenberg and Nick O'Neal had a very close doubles match that went 3 sets, Brian Keffer was the only one who pulled out a win (at the #2 singles spot). He beat Charlie Curtis, a MICDS standout who had gone undefeated all season (as a singles player). Brian put an end to that streak in what would be Keffer's last high school match (an impressive way to go out).
So our boys lost 5-1 in hard fought, close matches. And that's the way the season ended.
MICDS would then go on the next week to win their semi-final and final round and become team state champions over Thomas Jefferson. They beat Thomas Jefferson by the same score they beat us.
Clayton High School finished 3rd place in the state - the Wildcats had beaten Clayton 6-1 in regular season play. One can only figure that Westminster may have been the 3rd best team in the state of Missouri - and while our boys would have enjoyed showing that on the big stage in Springfield, their season was impressive and fantastic in every way.
