That Friday Feeling: Set the Tone

It’s the kind of weekend that defines who we are.

From Florida to Hershey, Prevail athletes, coaches, and alumni are doing more than just competing—they’re setting the tone. For how you train. For how you lead. For how you show up when it counts.

Whether it's your first match at Nationals or your return to the grass as an alum, this weekend is about making a statement.

Hershey Heat: The Chocolatetown Clash

Back home, the Chocolatetown Clash is packed with Prevail representation across every division—and the competition is fierce.

Saturday brings a wave of Prevail alumni and athletes into the spotlight. Aaron Walters and Ethan Martin are reuniting in Men’s A, with Colby Arvensen and Johnny Moran also hitting that bracket. Savian Crespo, Billy O’Connell, and James Eshleman bring their own fire to the same division, while the McInerney brothers—Joey and Aiden—take on Men’s AA. Craig Patrick is repping in BB, and Coach Kenny and Coach Angelo are going all out in Men’s Open.

Coach Alicia and her partner are back in action for Women’s BB, and we’re especially proud to see Kate S. and Jules K. from 17 Platinum competing alongside them in that division—blending current and alumni energy on the same stage.

On Sunday, the Prevail presence keeps rolling with Will Sierer and Connor Roth in Quads A. Noah Gunderson, Coach Ed, and Ryan G. from 17 Platinum are teaming up in the same division, while Prem, Prasant, and Pramesh of 18 East hit the grass in Quads BB.

From every court and every division—Prevail athletes are setting the tone through their play, their presence, and their passion.

This Week’s Feeling: Set the Tone

When you step onto the court, you decide what kind of energy the match has.
When you take the first swing, first serve, first pass—you set the tone.

This weekend isn’t about easing in.
It’s about making a statement.

So whether you’re chasing hardware in Orlando or battling it out in Hershey, remember this: how you start often defines how you finish.
