Spring time is the season for school tennis. David is playing #2 boys varsity doubles with Brandon Walker. He and Brandon played together the last third of the season last year and ended up going to state. They have high expecations this senior year. He has really improved his game this year and it is fun to watch.
Last week we went to Boise for the Capitals Tournament, which David and Brandon won the consolation spot (lower bracket) last year. They ended up making it to the semi finals in the upper bracket. They should have won, but lost a match in the semi finals. It was most disappointing.
Here is Brandon serving and David at the net. Brandon can have a killer serve. Usually the strongest server serves first. Brandon usually goes first, but David is the stronger server. So it really surprises opponents when David smokes them in.
David usually plays the backhand side. I always hear him referred to as the big kid from IF (Idaho Falls)
Can you guess whether or not they won this point??
Districts are this Tuesday and Thursday. This is the set of matches that determine whether or not they go to state. Go Team!

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or clap at those pictures of David and Brandon serving... they were awesome! Way to go photographer!
I will claim those pictures :-) But of course I couldn't have taken such good shots without something to work with!
