All Time Record vs. Churubusco: 17-3
Classic Matches:
Mikey Kelly/Seth Krabill vs. Alex McDowell/Ryan Mey; 2009
While the team match was pretty straight forward for the Bruins, with easy wins at the other positions, this match-up was beautiful tennis. McDowell and Mey ended the season as All-District performers, and while Mikey and Seth usually played singles, this match provided some fun. Mikey and Seth ended up on the losing side, but it took three sets and they looked the equal of the All-District crew.

None.
Outlook:
The outlook here has got to be an easy win. We almost blanked all of their returning players, and those matches were won by underclassmen for us (with the exception of Austin). Mey and McDowell were very good competitors, and Jesse Lich and Grant Stephen made Austin and Kyle play, but their is always inexperience in the mix here. Hopefully the Busco team will have a full complement of players for us to battle against in 2010.
