These Cats Are For Real!
The MICDS tennis team turned their hats sideways (so that the bills became fins) creating makeshift rally caps, hoping their team could rally back to win. But at the end of the day, the Wildcats held on to their lead and beat their strong opponent 4-3. Jack Reed and Andy Wiele had convincing singles wins at #3 and #4. Jeff Glidewell and Taylor Hiemenz gave their strongest doubles performance of the year at #3 doubles. However, it came down to David Conley. He played aggressive, smart, consistent, excellent tennis winning the second set in a tie-breaker and giving the team the overall winning score. Special thanks go out to Mr. Edema who has proved himself a loyal/faithful tennis fan all year we understand its hard to be a BLUE CREW when youre only one guy, but you do a great job.

The Heat is On, Cats Move On
Mr. Boesch was there for the first round to see the Wildcats Tennis Team defeat Kirksville 5-0 in sectional play. In the next round of play, Priory turned on the heat and tried to take from the Wildcats the victory. But at the end of the day, our boys played fantastic tennis. Even though Joe Hunsicker found himself down 0-3 in the third set, he focused and came through, winning a pivotal match. If you see any of the following boys, give them a huge congratulations (and if youre into hugging, do that too) because they are part of a Final Four State Team: David Conley, Jack Reed, Andy DeRousse, Andy Wiele, Joe Hunsicker, Quinn Zielonko, Colin McAfee, Mike Alexander, Taylor Hiemenz and Jeff Glidewell.
