Tennis anyone?

Well, today was the big day. My 8th grade granddaughter plays tennis for St. Charles while my 7th grade granddaughter plays tennis for Carroll Middle School and this evening their teams met for the first and only time this season. The games took place at Carroll High School and I must say they have a wonderful way to view multiple games at the same time.  Carroll evidently takes their tennis pretty seriously.  I saw a couple of signs stating that the Carroll High School girls tennis teams have been state champions in 2013, 2014 and 2015 while the boys' winning streak goes from 2011 to the present. They have 14 or 16 courts (I forgot to count carefully) in two rows and between the two sets of courts is a large storage shed with stairs leading up to a flat roof. from there a person can watch the action on several courts at the same time. There were several games going on simultaneously and the quality of play is about what you would expect from middle school students.  My granddaughters only played against each other in one set, doubles with other classmates, and I will say they were pretty evenly matched. I'll say that so I'm not accused of favoritism. Grandmas must be diplomatic.
