The weather co operated most of the time. We would stop and start again when the drops came down. Ms Lang, pro bus driver and my assistant coach, and I stayed at Caney Creek and the other players kept in touch by cell phone. Seemed like our doubles teams played the hardest teams the first round-- therefore, they ended up in the finals in consolation. Bakari & Ja Marcus lost 9 -7 to Tarkington--they played hard and strong----just was not our day-- rather take the loss today and improve for district, which is April 6th at Barbers Hill-- we are ranked 3rd in A Boy's Doubles-- Kingwood Park and Barbers Hill have super strong teams----we have super strong teams and we are striving for excellence.
Johnathan & La Shun are B Boys Doubles and they also, played strong ( When they got warmed up--they are 9th graders who have made so many steps forward since they joined our group around Christmas time-- they are on the courts till 5 or 6 every afternoon) Finals in B Doubles.
SENIORS: CAMILLE BISOR & TIMOTHY EDWARDS brought home the medals in mixed doubles. They have missed part of team tennis season and regular season due to their desire to pass TAKS--Tennis is #2--- TAKS is #1.
All eleven players worked hard and made us very proud of them. They gave up going for afternoon snacks ( We provide food during the day) so that Senior Allen Jefferson, could make it to his job on time.
Everyone contributes and respects each others needs and wants. Ms. Lang & I enjoyed our day in the piney woods at Caney Creek High School.
We are looking forward to district.
Found a new slogan that I like: What matters is the trip--- and the sights along the way!
Special thanks to senior, Joshua, for coming Friday. He received an award in the UIL Play the night before-- had little sleep and still won in the first round in the tournament. Then we let him rest--- he was exhausted.
