Did we breeze past Salem Hills or blow past them?

Our windscreens blew off the courts while we played just to give you an idea of how the Varsity boys stormed over their opponents today!


At number 1 singles, once again Chris Wiscombe dominated his match winning 6-1, 6-0, taking his High School record to 5 wins of 7 matches (to include having played two 5A schools) Chris is mentally tough and patient which is why he plays number one on this extraordinary team!

Rustin Porter displays incredible self discipline and concentration on the court…does he get it from you Art (his Dad)? I love watching this kid play tennis. He hits to the corners as well as any college player I have seen...explaining why he won 6-1-6-2...losing a total of 3 games out of his last 48!

Hunter Hullinger played a descent first set and then after Dad’s advice (Coach John Hullinger—former BYU tennis player) turned on turbo charge and won 6-0. He continues to play the net well and displayed excellent self discipline in setting up his shots for winners. At number 3 singles he breezed past his opponent 6-3, 6-0.



First Doubles team Jake Guymon and Jordan Argyle are at an unprecedented 7-0 record and again won today 6-0, 6-4. Slavens took stats and showed me 1 total unforced error in the first set! These State Champion hopefuls have yet to lose a set!

Second Doubles team Braden George and Trevor Morey—hmmm….how did Salem Coach Steve Philerup say it?...”your second doubles team is superb with their serve and volley game.” They rushed the net on practically every point and did not allow opponents to even get into the match. They won their match 6-1, 7-5

Well it is past midnight and I am forgetting some of the excellent play from Blaine Blonquist, Cameron Anderson, David Smith (all who won easily) and dang it I will remember in the morning who else I am forgetting…until then:

Well done Goldeneagles!

Coach Paul Whiting

PS Thanks for our crowd of over 85 fans and parents today!

Is it fate that First Ever Region Match MMHS is against Springville--our mother school?

MMHS VS Springville @ Springville 3 pm (come support your Goldeneagles or Devils!)


Is it fate that First Ever Region Match MMHS is against Springville--our mother school?
The superb Varsity line up for MMHS is Chris Wiscombe at number 1 singles (he wiped me out in a set today).

Rustin Porter is a very tough number 2 singles--having won both of his last 2 matches in St. George 6-0, 6-0. Hunter Hullinger a very strong number 3 singles is a strong hopeful for region championship as well as a State Championship.
With Nick W. Taylor out with an ankle injury and Blaine Blonquist gone with School Choir tomorrow's doubles teams are still unbelievably strong:

At Varsity first doubles Jordan Argyle (undefeated in 5 matches in St. George) playing with Team Captain Jake Guymon (keep an eye on these top doubles players! Second Doubles team is Braden George (who won 4 of 5 matches in St. G) and partner Trevor Morey (also 4 wins of 5 matches in St. G)!
In addition we also have JV and JJV matches scheduled for some exciting matches!
Because I played tennis at Springville High School and my nephew Macgregor is coaching Springville, I'm almost not sure who to cheer for! Please come out and enjoy some very fun tennis tomorrow and support your team and players!
