I heard that elizabethton crushed johnson county 9-0. I thought Matt Blevins and John Lawler were very impressive, they have improved a lot since last year, that match wasnt at all that I expected.Curtis Brumit is still looking good this year, I knew that James Cox didnt have a chance, didnt even pose a threat. GO CURTIS!!!!!!!!!

Yeah our teams been practicing alot to get ready for this season and we are really happy with the results.

JCHS Boys Tennis Team Still Cruising through Watauga

 

By Matt Hill

 

The JCHS Boys Tennis Team refuses to lose.

 

 

The Longhorns improved to 4-0 on the season with a 9-0 victory over North Greene Thursday in Baileyton.

JCHS played Elizabethton at home on Tuesday, the league’s other undefeated team. Look for a story in next week’s Tomahawk.

 

 

James Cox and John Lawler pitched 6-0 shutouts while Matt Blevins, Chris Eller, Justin Madgzuik and Dakota Campbell all had impressive wins.

 

 

In doubles, Jared Angel and John Paul Wilson were among the victors.

 

 

"I’m very pleased," JCHS tennis coach Steve Nave said. "Everybody played well again. Matt Blevins and John Lawler continue to help the overall team score with their wins."

 

 

The girls fell 7-2, with Brittany Davis and Paige Morefield winning tiebreakers to pull off their matches.

He used the word pitch because you know, tennis and baseball are pretty much the same thing.

Here is Matt Hill's artical about our first couple of matches, I think he should put the scores in there though from all the matches.. .. ..Cough.. Cough

I'll check with Nave and get the scores from the last couple matches and post them.

Longhorn boys 2-0 in tennis

 

By Matt Hill

 

 

There’s only been two matches played, but the JCHS Tennis Team is already exceeding expectations in 2006.

 

 

The JCHS Boys took two wins over Chuckey-Doak and South Greene while the girls squad put up respectable showings against those schools.

 

 

Against Chuckey-Doak, James Cox, John Lawler and Justin Madgzuik all took singles victories for the boys, with Cox and Matt Blevins and the team of John Wilson and Matt Lipford winning doubles matches.

 

 

The Longhorns looked even better against South Greene as James Cox took a huge win over South Greene Basketball standout Mark Wright 6-3. Cox teamed up with Blevins for a doubles win while Blevins was joined victoriously in singles by John Lawler, Chris Eller and Justin Madgziuk.

 

 

"We didn’t know what to expect from Chuckey-Doak and South Greene, but their boys teams were pretty good and we played very well against South Greene. South Greene was as good or better than Chuckey-Doak and I think we beat them more convincingly than we did Chuckey-Doak. That’s probably the best we’ve played as a group in three years."

 

 

Nave was happy to see some players really step up.

 

 

"John Lawler has stepped up in both matches and won the tiebreaker against Chuckey Doak that ended up being the one that won us the match. Chris Eller had a good performance against South Greene and Justin Madgziuk has won both of his matches pretty easily.

 

 

Cox continues to play well, as he beat a player who is going to make some noise in the conference.

 

 

"James beat a real good player and beat him pretty convincingly," Nave said. "That’s the best I’ve ever seen James play and if he keeps this up he’s going to have a good season.

 

 

The girls are playing pretty good too even though they’ve not won as a team yet. Rachel Sannes has easily won both her matches while Trisha Vance won against South Greene.

 

 

"Rachel Sannes and Brittany Davis have won both of their matches," Nave said. "They’re playing real well. I expected them to play OK, but I didn’t expect them to win just yet. They’ve come a long way. I think the girls are going to be more competitive and maybe win a couple of matches."

Thats a completly diffrent conference Greenfieldfan...

And who are you "courtwarrior"? you play for anyone?

I think no one is posting on here except you.

Junior Seth Wallingford will take the fourth-seed slot, and the coach stated that he was good enough to be a No. 1 seed for any other team in the district and that he also was strong with the backhand and forehand.

There isn't no way the top 4 seeds on Elizabethan could be the top 4 in the conference. I'm on the JC team and the whole team is looking stronger this year, the Elizabethton team always says something like that before we play but I almost beat Seth Wallingford last year and he is good but unless he has been in intensive training this year there isn’t no way he could beat any number 1 in the conference, sorry.

I know they are better than we are teamwise and they always have been but we'll give it out best this year. I think the whole conference will be surprised but Johnson Countys improvements.

"EHS boys poised for another good year"

Other than Elizabethan there isn't any other teams in the confrence that will beat our guys this year, so we are looking at a pretty good shot at number 2 this year. Can't wait to see you all at districts, later.

but what really counts is there heart.

That almost made me cry..

Almost. thumb

I'm john lawler and i play for jc too.. I've played ALOT with james over the last couple of years and he will probably keep getting better.

By the way Me and Chris eller made it past the first round of the doubles matches but sorta got forced into playing the round 2 match on the wrong day. Didn't help that I had to be draged out of the pizza inn after eating my weight in breadsticks.. man those things are good.. So for a school that gets hardly no money for tennis, I think we did alright in the tourneys.

Oh yeah, the reason the JC Tennis team dont get much funding is becuase all our money goes to the football team.

Yeah I agree, this has been a good season. Did anyone else watch the match between Chris Brumit and James Cox? I've never saw Chris play much before and I was surprized when I saw how good he was. I know Curtis was sick that day but a freshman almost wining districts? Anyone else think this kid might be better than his brother by his senior year?

Anyone know where the results of the Regionals will be posted?

I just played volunteer's first and second seed in doubles today. We lost, do you think they will win tomorow?

Yea this Natasha Gupta girl form Tullahoma is the best tennis player ive ever seen, never seen a girl handle a racket and ball better...

#4 Wallingford def. Lawler  8-4

825647449[/snapback]

I wanna rematch

good game though..

2doubles James/Wallingford def. Parlier/Lawler 8-2

It was me and McCloud get it right.

I play for Johnson County also.

Just wait.

James Cox...Speed, power and endurance. Best backhand in the east with a power serve. My ranking for this player is #1 as long as he stays consistent and plays his game. Couching staft ranking..7th

There we go, someone who acually knows what their talking about. I think the same thing, as long as he can keeps consistent the possibilitys are endless... If you don't watch out that serve can really tear you up somtimes. Oh yeah, who are all you guys and what school you play for?

I agree with net_vador.

Lets just wait until the season until we decide who the best player is, saying a new kid can "destroy" anyone in his path is kind of a big assumption.
