He certainly deserved the win.<br /><br />Thankfully our 3 doubles teams were so strong. What can you say about teams like Tim and Omon, and Odion and John B. So solid.<br /><br />Also a shout out to the number 3 team of Matt and Soong Hay. They were down 1-5 in the third set tiebreaker and came roaring back for the win. That is what ultimately gave Houston the victory today.<br /><br />All credit to Jason, Tim and Red. They know what they are doing.<br /><br />We look forward to representing TX well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227775310134576844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625710123724017027.post-46392585829116965322009-08-09T22:02:16.148-05:002009-08-09T22:02:16.148-05:00Hildebrand was in the zone today.

Has the HTA ever considered having Jason and Betsie put together an "All Star" team for each level and captain the team through to Nationals?
