P. Dodd of CE King was smart to switch the Varsity Tournament from the 12th to the 11th. He studied the weather reports and knew that a storm was coming in. Good news was that we shorten the sets Wed. and was able to get alot of tennis played before the weather changed.
Bakari, JaMarcus and Joshua got 3rd place and Tim Edwards & Camille Bisor won consolation.
Others placed, but we played so many sets that I got confused-- Coach Dodd will forward to me when he figures it out. A good time was had by all.
March 12th: During my 6th period conference, two tennis players came to interview me for Ms. Jermany-- questions about the honor of being Campus Teacher of the Year at NFHS. Then an ex student called me about coming to tennis courts and the school nurse wanted to walk in the rain to the tennis courts to talk to me about a student and my dedication to my players. When I opened the upstairs press box & the lock was not locked-- ( I thought-- those baseball coaches forgot to lock up--darn them) and all the players, Mrs. Lang, Ms. McCoy and an assistant to Mrs. Lang was there to yell surprise. I was screaming-- I was shocked and thrilled at the same time. THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL CELEBRATION. Parents, players, teachers and staff had donated money, a goodie peace bag which contained so many treats, food, fruit, gorgeous plant, beautiful cake, made my Mrs. Lang---teacher of the year script on top, etc. Needless to say I am sincerely touched by every ones kindness and good wishes. Loved the card signed by everyone-- by Maya Angelou: "A joyful spirit is evidence of a grateful heart. " I have taught in NFISD for 35 years and I can honestly say it has been a great adventure. There are many people that appreciate all that we have been able to accomplish with the help of everyone working together. We are thankful for the Wayne Bryan Family, super teachers, administrators, staff, school board and all the people who have been along for the journey & touched our lives.
March 23rd: Don't Forget: Practice after school--will have great sandwiches & drinks--then with Bob and Mike Shirts and Jeans get on the School Bus with Mrs. Lang & Ms. Smith. You will travel to the Board Room of NFISD-- We will be acknowledged by the Board and Bakari and JaMarcus will briefly thank everyone for allowing us to travel to the Davis Cup and briefly share experiences. Joshua who went two years ago will speak briefly. Parents will be there and other High School support staff. Coach Hrncir has a 3:30 seeding meeting at Barbers Hill--hopefully I will be back by 7:00p.m.-- but I cannot be sure. Know that I leaving my players in good hands with great folks who will continue to help us be successful.
Happy Spring Break!
