Flight A
Garland took out Fretz to stay undefeated but the supposed good match between High Point and Westlake turned out to be a route at High Point swept a solid Westlake team. Canyon Creek/Carman also remained undefeated but will step up in the competition level this week against Westlake so there may just be two undefeated teams by this time next week.
Flight B
So a few good matches this weekend as Canyon Creek/Jolly took out Gleneagles in a close match to remain undefeated along with Stonebridge and Greenhill/Kayser who took out a solid LB Houston team. These three don’t play each for a little while so they will have to try and stay perfect in the meantime.
Flight C
The smack talk seemed to culminate in a rather good match between Oak Creek and Oakridge with Marc Klamecki taking out Molina at line 1 singles in what looked like a good match. Lifetime Fitness and Brookhaven also stayed undefeated in this very tough flight where there should be good matches just about every week.

4.0 Opening weekend
Flight A
The only highlight was the HP v. Lifetime match which did not go as the polls predicted with Lifetime actually grabbing two lines. Great win by Eddie Hill. I have seen Blumberg play and he is good but maybe too young to play in tough matches quite yet but he has time before the playoffs to get ready. T Bar dominated and I would like to see them play Lifetime or HP to see how they stack up.
Flight B
Springpark/Doyle had a good win this week along with Oak Creek. The marquee matchups turned out to be OK. The Brookhaven win over the Village had some lopsided individual results and I was surprised to see Rammo go down so easy but Sestak is a good singles player. The Lakes saved me from listening to Big John this week as they used a lineup of mostly downgraded 4.5 players to take out Garland somewhat easily. As I noted in a comment they did well and they did not put out their best lineup. I know Garland didn’t either which is unfortunate since this could have been a great first week match.
Flight C
The only real big upset of the weekend happened here as Canyon Creek beat Arnette’s Greenhill team but losing both singles and taking all the doubles matches. WOW! I knew Canyon Creek would contend but that was a shocking result to me.
Flight D
Only two matches reported my match and Springpark’s score. We did alright yesterday against Eldorado, a few jittery moments but we pulled it out. I guess Ratana was healthy enough to play or was that just a rumor. LB sacrificed at line 1 singles maybe fearing McGowan or Davis would be there but Walker did score a straight set victory over Pearson which was impressive. The doubles all went to 3rd set tiebreakers and Springpark won each and every one of them. Sounds like they had a tough match.

4.5 2nd week
Flight A
Branch scored a good win over Springpark and Feldman’s OC team won the big matchup of the week and took out Royal Oaks.
Flight B
The first week of matches in this flight as the Village, T Bar, Brookhaven and Collin County all got convincing first week victories. The Collin County win very impressive over an improved roster at High Point.

Good 3.5 early season matches
I figured I would put you talkative 3.5's at the top of the page this week.
Gleneagles v. Canyon Creek
Two mid level teams trying to jump up the top. I like CC but it will be a good match as it usually is when these two get together.
LB/Wisdom v. GH/Kayser
Wisdom's group started out well but now plays a really good team. Singles will be interesting to watch because if LB can take both I think they might be able to grab one doubles match and head to the top of this flight.
HP/Jameson v. Westlake
Two of the first week winners face off and they are both favs in this flight so the winner will be the one to chase. High Point will have to work for this one but they should come out OK.
Oak Creek v. Oakridge
Crusty v. Crustier. Someone send me the time of this one, it might be worth coming out to see. Last time they met was in the playoffs and Oak Creek won the match. I have a feeling we will see a similar result but I think it might comedown to the Marc v. Enrique match up. Should be fun.

Good 4.0 early season matches
Lifetime v. High Point
Not that Somabut's team needs to win but Lifetime will be one of the only teams in this flight that could even hold their tennis bag so I expect some good matches. Lifetime obviously would like to start out with a win.
BH/Helterbrann v. Village/Johnson
I think both of these teams are a little bit of a mystery so I am curious to see how they perform against one another. With few playoffs spots to go around the winner puts themselves in a good spot to get on a roll.
Canyon Creek v. Greenhill
Arnette's group as talked about before should be in the playoffs but this Canyon Creek team has talent and has been to the post season before as well. I like Greenhill but it should be close.
Springpark v. LB/Spagnola
Obviously since this is my flight I will be very curious about this result but I am interested to see how the likes of Ratana, Griffin, Allen and Walker stack up against the Springpark super team. I don't think LB has the depth but they could win 3 lines if it falls out right.
Garland v. Lakes
This should show who will lead the way in this flight. I know Garland hangs out in the blog and talk a lot but I just don't see how they can hang with this Lakes roster. They were the runner up to Somabut's team in the Fall and didn't lose any players but added players to an already good roster.
