Match of the Day goes to Jonathan Huot & Jason Rickenbacher who won their doubles match 6-7, 6-3 and won the 3rd set tiebreaker 16-14.  Jason and Jonathan had multiple match points against them, but they persevered and never gave up.  Their strategy of keeping their opponents back at the baseline with effective deep lobs was the key to their victory. Great job.  With this victory the Bobcats secured a place in the State Tournament starting next Friday!  The next match is today against East Catholic at Wickham Park.
