December 9th: Dale Robertson: Tennis Notebook

A great article about Coach Hrncir and her super helpers and players. Such a good feeling to be appreciated and to notice that I try to make a difference. I love my players and want them to be successful on and off the tennis courts.

Also, We are all going to the School Board Meeting Monday Night-- We will receive a Excellence Award. We will have pizza and drinks after school--dress and travel together by bus. Parents and community members will support us.

This is a great way to retire after 40 years of teaching and coaching.

November 20th

We had a security scare Thursday-- some folks said that it was a stabbing-- others said a gun--- anyway-- we were told to get off the courts at 4:00 and head out ASAP

Axel, Ruben, and kids moved so fast--- we were out of there in less that 5 min.

Friday was the last day before Thanksgiving Holidays---------many students were absent and we left at 3-- Donnea had a a fainting spell--nurse came to get her with a stretcher and two principals----- she has these horrible headaches-- hopefully she will get alot of rest and see the Dr. again-- something is not right-- and we were all very very worried about her. I went to the office and her Aunt had already picked up both sisters--- I was in shock---- I hurt when the kids hurt-------getting too old for problems. Have good helpers who keep me sane.

Bob and Mike were honored for finishing #1-- ATP World Tour---- #1 Doubles Team ALSO WON FAVORITE DOUBLES TEAM

WE ARE PROUD OF BOB AND MIKE AND THEIR PARENTS, KATHY AND WAYNE BRYAN--- THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TO OUR TENNIS PROGRAM FOR OVER TEN YEARS---DAVIS CUP--WESTSIDE TENNIS AND RIVER OAKS----WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED -- WE HAVE BEEN THEIR ADOPTED SCHOOL FOR OVER 10 YEARS.

COACH HRNCIR IS VERY THANKFUL ----------THE LAST TEN YEARS HAVE BEEN THE BEST OF MY 40 YRS OF TEACHING AND COACHING.

OUR BEAGLE DOES NOT APPRECIATE THE YOUNG ONE-- TIME WILL CHANGE THAT.

THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TILL THANKSGIVING----------------------------------HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

TEXAS TENNIC COACHES CONVENTION IS AROUND THE BEND--- FIRST WEEKEND IN DECEMBER-- SOMETHING THAT RUBEN, COACH LANG AND COACH HRNCIR LOOK FORWARD TO--- MY LAST-- SINCE I AM RETIRING. GREAT MEMORIES.

Sorry-- Behind on all that is happening.

It has been a while.

My 99 year old Aunt Died-- Aunt Linnie--- she was blessed of have been loved by her family, community and town. My Mom had two sisters and three brothers still alive out of 12 brothers and sisters. Many said that I reminded them of my mom--- guess, I finally realized that I was my Mom's daughter.

Thursday, Nov. 11th-- I have my first root canal at 2:00---- hope that I can make it to work Friday-- hard to get a subst.--- even if I have 73 sick days that I will never use---I will retire in June of 2011. Keep telling myself this-------know that it will be difficult after 40 years of teaching and coaching.

Majority of the players have been practicing after school--- getting ready for the Spring when we travel on Friday's---giving it everything they have-- know that I would love to go to regionals one more time before I retire. Have to believe to achieve.

Bob and Mike are going strong----hoping that they continue with Davis Cup-know that they like to represent their country. Hope that their knees hold up.

Today, Wednesday, was a rain out------------------Coach H came home and slept for hours--- do not want anyone to know that my mouth hurts-------wish me the best.

October 22nd: Honoral Mention: Hurd,Lee,Ceron & Landry 19 4 A Team Tennis 210 Thanks for your great effort and determination!

Hurd, Landry, Ceron and Pierce practiced after school till 5:45--(Friday )and went to the Football game with Coach Hrncir. We stayed till after half time--- Coach Hrncir is not a night person------ past my bed time.

We had a good time-- turkey leg was my favorite----and of course, the pop corn.

Our football team is doing it's best-- there is no doubt in my mind that they are committed to strive to win every game------------all the schools in our district are strong--- it is hard for all of us to win--- but we keeping working at it--we are not quitters.

Met alot of friends from the past---- people that were a part of my life in NFISD for over 37 years years.

Stay Safe
Make good decisions.
Pray for Derwin's Mom-- who passed last Tues Night---- will send flowers-- when I get info.-- maybe some of us can go to the wake.

See you Monday.

We had a so so week after our wins against Baytown Lee Monday.

Many students had to study for Benchmark and 6 week exams-- so if you couldn't come to practice-- I said nothing-----Between grades being due and the heat-----we all seemed worn out--

Problem Thursday--- some guys that lied about being on the basball team stole a cell phone on the courts--- really sad--- will have to have more restrictions on who can get water---seems like some folks are thiefs--NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE TENNIS AREA-- OR I WILL FILE CHARGES.

Everyone went home at 3 Friday after a surprise party for senior Donnia Ford--Coach Hrncir had to pick up her Truck--- after the bus accident-- it is looking like new------

Also, tomorrow is our 40th Wedding Anniversary-- where has the time gone? Our priest gave us a special bessing after mass today.

Sat. September 18th: Tennis Practice News

Friday afternoon is a FREE Practice Day-----About 10 players stayed to nearly 7 o'clock to share drills and thrills--visit and share---- so so peaceful.

I really got into reading a book and talking to players-- Ms. Emily from Memorial Park had donated us some good rackets and ones who stayed got first choice------

Barbers Hill is always Number One in our district---but we will do out best in Team Tennis Monday. Plan to go to CiCi's afterward--- only the players who read the blog will know--- secret of reading the blog.

Enjoying three grand daughters today and tonight-- letting the parents have a date night------ 3 year old, 5 year old and 8 year old---never a dull moment. Grandpa has them watching a new Hanna Montana Movie and Grandma is going up stairs to read and fall asleep. I am the only one who hears the girls during the night. Ha

Understand, that many of my players go to the Library on Sat.-- 4th floor--teen room---I remember going to the down town library when I was in college and Grad. school--- Of course, it is alot nicer and modern now.

Don't forget anything for our matches Monday at the Jr. College. Pray NO RAIN

Love, Coach Hrncir and Coach Lang

September 17th

La Shaun Landy won against Crosby last Monday-- 2nd seed playing 2nd seed. We played at San Jacinto Jr. College and everyone played hard and strong. The heat is something else---

Wed. night-- our home alarm went off--- someone was juggling the front door. Blessed that we have an alarm system-- alot of home invasions in our area.

Thursday, I received all of the Health Classes from Coach Madison-- it is all good---we just didn't have enough for two teachers--- she is working in another program and I received good students who want to learn----just wish that I would have been told in advance--- came as a shock-- but, all is good--

Thursday, Ruben brought us ice pops--a treat. and Mr. and Mrs. Hudson had us plums and chips-- and to top it off at about 4:00 we had a rain shower--enough to get us off the courts----seemed t cool everyone down. Special thanks to Coach Mills for coming by and helping me with a couple of my guys--- his expertise is always appreciated.

Today, we do not have official practice-- but I will be there-- in case someone wants to work out till 5:00-- I love to read on Friday afternoon--- my treat to myself and my kids.

We play Barbers Hill at San Jacinto Monday-- need all the support that we can get----

Love, Coach Hrncir and Coach Lang

Wed. was not the best one sister hit another with a tennis ball in the throat and neck area--accident--
Trainer said that she would be sore--bruised------ La Porsa is going strong. Just so happened that I had a iced towel around my neck-- and transferred to her neck-- kept the swelling down.

My Health Classes have been great-- small in number-- but climbing every day----More are on the roll for next week--- We have started the TNT unit-- Towards no more tobacco use--activities have been fun-- ended the week with two good video's on the dangers of tobacco use-- was a net success.

THIS YEAR IS STARTING OUT GREAT. New Administration and new principal, Dr. Williams, is on the ball-- I have been teaching 39 years and my 40th has been the best beginning ever-- shirt tails on in--pants are above the hips--no phones or electrical devices anywhere---everyone is working together and that is NO Tolerance for being rude and disrespectful to teachers or staff. This is going to be a GREAT year for North Forest High School. What a great year to retire-- going out on a high note.

Dear Coach Crawford:

I will never forget your time at Smiley and North Forest High.
Your support enabled me to accomplish so much in tennis.
Deeply appreciated the way that you stuck up for me when I was being taken advantage of by an inexperienced administrator.
Sincerely thank you for your professional concern for your coaches and players.
You never broke us down-- you built us up and took our teams to highs that we would have never thought possible in high school athletics.
We are thankful for your hard work during the four years that we were blessed to have you in NFISD.
Our prayers are with you and your family.

Hope that you have had a great summer----We just got back from Niceville Florida-- white sand--beautiful water-- dolphins--friendly folks------

Our youngest, Sean Dietrich is stationed there in the Marines. His folks had a great time-- 5 days of vacation-- must be a first in 39 years of marriage. He graduates from his EOD training in Feb. or March--we must go back--- needed to know so that I do not have a tennis tournament on that Friday. Welcome to look at photos on facebook---- Loretta Hrncir

Practice next week--we will have practice-- but I need to check with AD----if I am off campus-- it will be hard to get back to you for practice-- last year-- two days off campus for in service and they moved me-- or with the help of Coach Smith---we moved again. Confusing for me.

This is my last year-- the Houston Chronicle sports man, Dale Robertson--teased me-- "40 years is a good round number and I will see you and your great kids in April at River Oaks"

Call me next week--after Monday or check the blog.

Ruben e mailed me that we are going to have a great year-- he is such a good person.

July 22nd: LAST DAY OF SUMMER SWIMMING LESSONS AT KLEIN HIGH.

TODAY WAS A SUPER DAY.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE SWIMMERS THAT WROTE ALL OF US THANK YOU NOTES--THEY WERE CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC.

MY HELPERS THIS SUMMER WERE OUTSTANDING -- WISH THAT I HAD THEIR ENERGY.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO SENT GIFTS, GIFT CARDS,AND TREATS FOR ME AND MY HELPERS.

I SHARED WITH MY SWIMMERS THE STORY OF THE WAYNE BRYAN FAMILY-- WRITING A THANK YOU IS AN ACT OF KINDNESS-- AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE IT WILL LEAD YOU. I WILL CHERISH ALL THE NOTES AND PHOTOS---- THIS HAS BEEN MY 16TH YEAR TEACHING SWIMMING IN KISD-- AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT AND APPRECIATION THAT I HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS.

I HAVE TAUGHT IN Columbia Brazoria ISD, NFISD and KISD--- and can honestly say that I really have enjoyed the adventures along the way. The people that I touch and that have touched me--- give me the strength to give it all that I have every day.

Of Course, being the adopted school of the Wayne Bryan Family has been a big blessing--- it is good to be appreciated and acknowledged for your efforts in working with children.

I have been living my dream in education over the last 40 years. Do not plan to give up the swimming when I retire in 2011 from my high school teaching position.( Won't entirely give up the tennis either)

Now, I am going to stay away from the pool and rest up---deserve to be lazy for a few days--- hope to visit son in Florida before my High School Job starts up again for my last year. ( Oh, forgot, Jury Duty tomorrow-- ugh)

Will clear up ear infection and catch up on naps and reading.

Will see my tennis players in Aug--- will let you know when we will practice--as soon as I know. Remember the physicals-----we start matches the first of Sept.

Stay Safe.

Love, Coach Hrncir

Tomorrow is July 22nd-- LAST DAY SWIMMING LESSONS!

Three two week sessions come to an end-- love the parents--students and helpers-- but want to avoid water until next year!!!!

Tomorrow is our big day---every helper says something great about the kids-- I love to talk---and ribbons are handed out--- lots of pictures--- kind words and great hugs. Many swimmers will be writing thank yous to helpers---- told them the story of the Wayne Bryan Family----student won a racket---act of kindness--writing a thank you--- ten years of the being the adopted school of the Wayne Bryan Family-- a blessing beyond words.

A little sad----- saying good bye for the summer---- but I am facing Jury Duty Friday Morning--- another great adventure!

Know that she is among the angels---- and watches over me daily.

Last week of swimming is next week-- the five weeks have flown by-----be thankful to be lazy every day until we travel to Florida in Aug.

We have a new girl, Alex, dependable and dedicated-- called her at 7 a.m. and she was at the pool by 7:20--- My two great guys were going to Canada with their family-- Rachel is working many hours at Ross and Kirbi has Cross Country two days a week----- I need helpers--- we make more progress and the kids step up their skills when we practice more.

Guys left at 10:30-- and we ladies finished it up--even moved the lanes-----usually the guys help with those details.

I am thankful for this summer position---we can go on vacation and I can pay off a few bills---I am blessed to enjoy swimming and tennis.

I am living my dreams-- to be a teacher and a coach.

Love, Coach Hrncir

We had one child sign up for tennis classes and

we were rained out last week. This next week is pending-- will get this child's home phone and set up another time.

Session II went out with a bang Friday-- lots of smiles and hugs. Many thank you cards and a special family gave me a $25 Master Card-- a blessing.
There are so many-- I don't know who is who-- Ribbons were given out and I asked each helper to give comments about the students in an individual way--pretty special occasion with each class.

Spent the weekend with my mother in law in West Columbia-- she is lonely and we shop till we drop-- Big Lots and Hobby Lobby--- Lots of sharing and caring.

Last Session starts July 12th and Rachel is still with me and working at Ross---I have great helpers and super parents--- kids are positive-- parents pay for them to attend--- and they get results.

Continue to have a safe summer-- you are always a net success for me.

After six classes--- 40 min. each-- I am ready for a snack and a nap.

There is never a dull moment and the time flies---- just like in the classroom.

Parents are great-- students or swimmers are great and we make progress every day----- the morning flies--- from 7:20 to 12:10---- don't have time to catch my breath.

Mr. and Mrs. Whiteside take turns bringing Madison-(3 year old)--such a positive change of pace-- use alot of my tennis and high school techniques to bring the kids together and out of their shells-- we laugh and play every class. Hopefully, the learning process is fun. We always get positive comments from parents and grand parents and the we are booked or over booked every summer. ( Six classes 10 to 12 kids for 40 min. four days a week for two weekd) This is something that I will do part time after I retire from High School Teaching. A little tennis and swimming on the side to keep me feeling productive.

Hope you are getting in alot of tennis and conditioning-- Aug. is right around the bend. Keep in touch and stay safe.

Love, Coach Hrncir and Coach Lang

June 9th: Happy Summer!

I spent Monday, Tues and Wed. in West Columbia with my mother in law--we shopped till we dropped at Big Lots and Dillards. We read, napped, played with Mandy the dog and watched a little TV.

Today I had to go to Klein to get paperwork and switch keys--then went to NFHS to visit with Ms. Sara Williamson in the Library-- she took me out for lunch at PaPa's-- Can't beat the great food. Picked up 7 year old grand daughter Lien and we will be together until tomorrow afternoon.

Rachel called me in WC-- is helping me with Swimming Lessons this summer. She is my blessing. June 14th is the first day and I am over booked---Husband has jury duty and college friend has colon test------and when Rachel called-- I got excited-- God knows when you need help------he listened to me. Plus, our 32 year old daughter is helping with books and parents while we are in the pool.

Swimming is like tennis----never a dull moment.

Be Safe
Hit some tennis balls---
Thankful for this last year with my tennis players and NFHS.

Love, Coach Hrncir and Coach Lang

Coach Lang in driving Summer School Kids and promises to come by Klein High to help me out----- will be waiting.

June 5th Sat. Morning

Getting ready early this a.m. to go to NFHS AND CHECK OUT.

THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT YEAR--- The weight room will be open this summer 8 till 10 if you so desire. ( Don't switch sports on me for football)

I strongly suggest that you get in a free tennis summer program this summer to work on your fitness and skills-----Call Zina Garrison Camp--Memorial Park---Houston Tennis Association--etc-------

I start teaching for KISD June 14th. This will be my 15th year. It is a joy to do something a little different every summer and get paid for it. Swimming will be keeping me in shape for one more year at NFHS. I will retire in 2011---40th years--- it is time for the young folks to step it up and really get involved is players and the many opportunities that are out there for them.

I have been blessed. Have a SAFE Summer!

Thankful for the courts and the improvement.

Xavier aand I will beat everyone tomorrow------he left his bag in my truck.

Jannesia was dropped off at Mom's job and Ruben and the guys were still on the courts when we left after 11 a.m.-- Baseball guys had music playing and Rachel's Mom stopped by to watch her play----my three year letter lady--- so so proud of her---will be able to graduate when I retire.

Coach Lang, Coach Hrncir and Coach Hernandez had a great practice with three players-- allot of individual attention-- lots of laughs--- lots of fun.

Hopefully, more players will come tomorrow----- Ruben and his crew were so dedicated that they stayed after Coach Lang and I left. I had to go to a Down Town Tennis Club and get donated tennis balls from my friend Bobby. I drove by Memorial Park and shared some of the balls with my friend Emiley--- Head of USTA----she is a dear friend who shared some good rackets with us.( Six plastic bags) Shared one of our Bob and Mike shirts with him-- he and the Coach from Goose Creek gave me good info when I was making decisions about the colors of our tennis Ct's. Always a blessing to have friends.

March 12th: Ruben and a few players stayed after school for practice.

Friday is fun day and no practice.
Few players stayed after and Ruben Hernandez worked out with the crew that stayed.
Ruben and I will retire together next year. He has been a great helper for the last 4 years--- works us around his college responsibilities and other adventures.
He helps so much--------he knows so much and together we make good choices about placements in tournaments and district-- which is right around the corner. ( Ruben played for me his senior year only-----but is dedicated and he and I enjoy Newks every year-- Coach Lang joined us last Dec.--- great event)

Looking forward to our last tournament and district and Bob and Mike coming to town. Dad, Wayne, always helps us be a BIG Part of the experience at River Oaks. Also, Van Berry is also very very kind.

I have called my friend Bobby, at a local private club, to get us some donated balls----don't want to spend half of my budget on balls again. We are blessed to have people who care about our kids and our programs.

Also, Dale Robertson, writes great articles about us--------

I AM TOLD THAT NEW COURTS WILL BE BUILT IN THE FUTURE---- BUT I JOKE THAT I WILL BE DEAD BY THEN---- JUST SO SO THANKFUL THAT THIS DREAM HAS COME TRUE IN MY LIFETIME.

LOVE, COACH HRNCIR: NORTH FOREST HIGH

Feb. 17th: They painted the green courts-- and the red out of bounds area.

We have had cement so long that it is hard to adjust to the colors and the beauty of our courts--without cracks and holes.

Great to see the progress outside my classroom window.

We practiced on the back parking lots again today--- left in time to get ready for tomorrow--( I make lots of sandwiches)- be sure that you have cleared info with teachers--- many are letting the kids take bench mark early or late. We will leave at 7:15 a.m. and are headed for the college San Jacinto-- that will be the base this time------

Life is change.

See you early in the a.m.----

February 5th; THIS WAS A GREAT DAY.

MY SUPER TENNIS PLAYERS AND I HAD ONE HOUR TO TAKE DOWN OUR SCREENS--WE SAVED THE WIND BREAKERS DONATED FROM THE WAYNE BRYAN FAMILY-- TO PASS DOWN TO THE NORTH FOREST MIDDLE SCHOOL---- OTHER-- OLD USED SCREENS WERE TORN DOWN--WITH MUCH HAPPINESS----- THE COMPANY THAT WON THE BID-- STARTED CLEANING OUT THE HOLES-- USING A POWER WASH MACHINE.

WE ARE VERY THANKFUL TO NORTH FOREST'S BOARD OF MANAGERS AND OUR A.D. FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF PLAYINGS ON DANGEROUS COURTS WITH HOLES. BOB AND MIKE WANTED TO COME OUT A FEW YEARS AGO AND I HAD TO SAY NO--DID NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE OF ONE OF THEM GETTING HURT.

HOPEFULLY, NEVER AGAIN--BALL HITS A HOLE OR CRACK-- RE SERVE OR RE PLAY THAT POINT.

Workers will be working Sat.-- will notify the police department to get inside the gates.

Was a little sad to see the bench's and umpire stand removed--- our son who is in the Marines-- made them with his boy scout troop as his Eagle Project for our school--back in about 1998.

Time goes forward------------------------

Next tournament is the 18th---We will still practice after school--- working on control and ball skills--- I am looking at the back parking lot and maybe a gym -- if it is open. Do not want to take a bus somewhere----there are too few now.

Should be back on the courts in 2 to 3 weeks.

A blessing.

Coaches: Hrncir and Lang

"Failing to plan is planning to Fail"

January 28th, 2010

Tournament at Barber Hill and surrounding area.

Ja Marcus won first and Xavier got a good sportsmanship award.

Krystal played hard and strong--- lost after winning 3 matches and with a twisted knee.

Tried to make it home before buses---- but the traffic was terrible.

Coach Lang used a newer bus----- had so many gadgets--- glad I stopped driving a bus over a year ago-- with the new computers--- would not go anywhere.

Mr. Adams said that my classes were good to him and just a few did not come back after lunch. He left me those names.

Practice this weekend--- we practice one day--Monday and and then we have a local tournament--- Tues-- at C.E. King---- the time will be flying till the end of May-----especially looking forward to district and Bob and Mike--- hope that you are keeping up with their progress-- rocking tennis.

COACH HRNCIR

HAPPY M.L.K. DAY TOMORROW

This is the day that I get my yearly physical-- therefore ,I don't have to miss school (70 sick days stored up) and I can't forget.

Jan. 28th is our first spring tournament--we need to leave at 6:30a.m. to make trip to Barbers Hill. It is also the day that my husband and our son will be in DC for a brief photo with President Obama. Sean is moving from the unit that protects with the chopper-- to explosives tech. This is a type of token appreciation for his service---Robt. will be the parent with him.

I tease that he is going because I am teacher of the year and cannot NOT go to a tennis tournament--- have not missed in over ten years---never, even when I was home with surgery-- I came to school to take the players to tournaments.

Life has many great adventures.

So thankful to be alive and to be able to appreciate my life, family, kids, grand kids , Health students and NFHS Tennis players.

I am blessed beyond my dreams.

Coach H

Jamie & Jay were on the courts Thursday afternoon

Dedicated
Called off practice Thursday due to required meeting--
Jamie and Jay were on the courts--dodging the water puddles
Of course, I had to find them snacks and water.
Received by new cell phone from Sprint yesterday--- ( no phone for 3 days)
Sprint is a good company-- you just have to wait and wait and wait.( One hour plus and depends on who you get-- whether they are concerned)
Contract is up in a year---may need another company.
We wll try to start up again Monday---first tournament Jan. 28th -- We have 7 tournaments this spring season and we have a full team-- have lots of guys-- the girls are seven. I will be giving your names to counselors in April-- to place you in 7th period next year-- My 7th period Athletics is my traveling period.

BE CAREFUL COMING TO SCHOOL TODAY----- 23 DEGREES.

January 6th: Welcome Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had two great practice sessions Tues. and Wed.( WE ARE HAVING VERY COLD WEATHER COMING INTO HOUSTON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY)

Wed. I talked to each group about our spring UIL Tennis Tournaments.
Importance of keeping grades up and good relationship with your teachers and parents. They have to allow you to travel and you have to be responsible for you grades and TAKS Scores. Of course, we are looking forward to district in April and Bob and Mike coming to Houston for the Clay Court Championships at River Oaks. We have our shirts ready and we are ready to cheer.

The next four months are going to be going at a fast pace. Get ready for a great adventure.
