The Bobcats were 10-4 during regular season play last year. You can see a marked improvement just getting out here and hitting every day. "Taylor has really come a long way since the fall. 6 spot in singles and a spot in doubles," he said. "Taylor and Josh are fighting for the No. He is a half-marathon guy who runs all the time and is in really good physical condition."Įasley said Tamberg has made great strides since the fall and will be vying for playing time. "He can outlast people because he does not get fatigued. He is a steady player and a great conditioned athlete who can run all day. "Austin played mostly singles in high school, so his doubles game is kind of a learning process for him right now. He is a really good person, too, and a good student."Įasley said Hester mainly played doubles in high school and is trying to adjust to playing more singles. He's right up there with Graham, Eric and Josiah. His form and footwork are good and he is a solid pickup for us. "He has really good strokes, hits the ball well and has good technique. "Austin is a solid, solid player," Easley said. He hits a heavy, heavy ball that's tough to return."īaskin has made an impression during his first year at JCJC. He has so much top spin he does not have a lot of room for error. "Sometimes, he may take his eyes off the ball and not hit it as well. He probably just needs to be a little steadier. He has been serving the ball well and has good ground strokes. He hits the ball well and uses a lot of top spin. "He is a laid-back, country boy who likes to hunt. Kiewit provides more experience for the Bobcats and could end up being at No. He has great strokes and technique and is as solid mentally as anybody I've ever been around." He wins a lot of points and matches by just outlasting his opponent. "He will dive for a ball and extend the point. He has a high standard with the way he plays and he gives unbelievable effort. He hates making mistakes and not getting to every ball. "Josiah is a textbook player," Easley said. 3 doubles in the MACJC/Region 23 Tournament. 3 singles consolation semifinal round in the nationals and teamed with Kiewit to win No. Lim enjoyed postseason success as a freshman. He just needs to start fresh and move on to the next point." "Eric has a tendency sometimes to make a mistake and let it bother him for another point. You can tell by watching him that he has played a long time by the way he hits it and moves. When Eric is hitting the ball like he can, he is one of our best players. "Eric has been playing tennis for years," Easley said. Swisher will be another sound player in the top of the lineup. Graham has taken another step up in his game."
He has a big serve when he needs it and his strokes are good. "He is a tall, lanky guy who moves well on the court. "Graham is a very fluid player," Easley said.
Lightsey provides a solid anchor for the Bobcats.
The lineup is still to be determined, but Lightsey is expected to be at No. "They have done well in the fall and in a couple of matches we played." "Those freshmen will mix in well with the sophomores," Easley said. New additions to the roster are freshmen Austin Baskin of Winston Academy, Josh Hester of Florence and Taylor Tamberg of South Jones. "We are obviously looking for big things out of those four guys." The experience of going to nationals last year can only help them as well. That year under their belt will help them, knowing how tough the region is. 5 player," said Easley, who begins his 16 th year as head coach.
#Outlast 2 josiah plus
"We have four of our top five returning from last year – our top three, plus our No. Those sophomores are Graham Lightsey of Petal, Eric Swisher of Oak Grove, Josiah Lim of Shreveport, Louisiana, and Robert Kiewit of Laurel. JCJC returns four of its top five players from a team that finished third in the MACJC/Region 23 Tournament and finished 20 th in the NJCAA Division I National Tournament in Plano, Texas. ELLISVILLE – Mark Easley has reason to be upbeat about his Jones County Junior College men's tennis team this season.
