US Junior Team — Blog #4
Monday, November 6, 2017
Monday in Minneapolis was jam packed with Team USA action. But first, let’s take a step back and enjoy Coach Charlie Pratt’s comments from late last night (after the blog was published). Matches ran until 11:30 pm, and while (nearly) everyone was hitting the hay, Charlie had a few things to say:
“Sunday, my first day as coach, was one of the craziest days of racquetball in my life! These kids are battling so hard! I think we had more tiebreakers than two-gamers. We had an 11-10 win by Sahil, the silent assassin. Esha won her match 11-9. Annie started us off with a tiebreaker win in her USA Team debut. Cayden caught the ball on match point and forgot he wasn’t playing with this buddies back in Texas. My favorite part is seeing how fit our players are for this event. They really put the time in, and it shows. The energy, enthusiasm, and overall team spirit filled Life Time Target Center for 14+ hours. Our supporting cast has our backs constantly. Go USA!”
