Kokomo vs McCutcheon Win 5-0 Singles: Caleb Taflinger W 6-2, 6-1 Andrew Guerre W 6-0, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 Mitch McClelland W 6-0, 6-0 Doubles: Easton Douglas/Micah Taflinger W 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 Ari Leger/Harry Blake W 6-2, 6-2 Great win for Kokomo tonight. Everyone chipped in and built off our tough match vs North Central. Mitch played the fastest match I have ever seen. By the time I made it over to him he had won the first 7 games in like 10 minutes. He was ready to get back in the win column. Ari and Harry played super smart tennis. They limited their errors and played great Kokomo doubles. Then Caleb won for our third and deciding point. His rallies were great and the match was closer than the score. Andrew had a crazy match. He was up 6-0, 4-1 when his opponent just started ripping it. His serve caught fire, then he got some momentum, and won the second set in a tiebreaker. Andrew never let up though, stayed steady and fought out a solid third set win! Our #1 doubles team came out completely lost. McCutcheon's style was opposite than North Central and the boys didn't know how to react. After losing the first set, they reset and played solid tennis to win another one in three sets. I really wanted to win 5-0, and show the conference that Kokomo has a complete team this year. NCC matches will get tougher next month, but this is a great way to kick-off the conference schedule.
