I reached out to see if they'd play us and they responded and immediately said yes. I'm giving up a home game to do it, but the reason my top doubles team lost at State last year was just because they hadn't been tested all year really.

Good move where it's an option IMO.

There's a pretty regular opponent for "us" up in South Carolina -- similar school, similar tennis program -- that's frequently on the schedule as a road trip. They play a different format too so it's a chance to break up the routine and give players a different experience.
