T h ur sday, June 4, 2015 | boli ng brookbug le.com tennIs | from paGe 14 was already a success. We did well as a team and that was fun this year.” Joyce was happy with his junior. “I was very impressed with Miguel’s play at the state series. He certainly showed improvement in his results this year over where he was last year despite falling out in the same round as the year before,” Joyce said. “His second and third round wins were very impressive, I anticipated a much closer match with Braden Ward of Antioch, I felt that they were equally strong tennis players but, Miguel really came out firing and never let Ward into the match. In
his final match against Weisberg of Stevenson Miguel was just out of gas, his conditioning just wasn’t where it needed to be to make a deeper run. Last season, Rayos del Sol flew somewhat under the radar to a lot of players outside of the Southwest Prairie Conference, but after his high school success last season and his success away from school, he was no longer an unknown this year. “I think a lot of people knew me this year and it was harder this year, but I just had to work harder,” he said. Although he has had a lot of success already, Rayos del Sol is
only a junior and will be back next season to look to make another trip to the state meet and go even deeper in the field. He will do it again with his younger brother, Martin, who was a freshman this season. Miguel said having his brother around made this season even that much more enjoyable. “It was fun having him around this year, I got to play with him more and practice with him and hopefully next year we can have more fun,” he said. Could next year be the year a pair of Rayos del Sol’s are playing in the state tournament? “We hope so,” Miguel said.
