Aug. 28th: IT HAS BEEN A HOT HOT WEEK ON THE TENNIS COURTS!

WE CUT DOWN ON ALOT OF EXTRA RUNNING DRILLS-- THE HEAT HAS BEEN OVER A 100 ON THE COURTS-----------

We have four new players-- and they are making progress---hard workers--- Derwin came back to us and Ruben has been a blessing--as usual.

Rachel and Xavier are going to play mixed doubles and they are both seniors----in team tennis-- you play doubles and singles---- 19 matches--- long long afternoons and we start Sept. 7th at GCM--we have to travel because we have two courts and the college has classes that afternoon.


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.

UIL PAPERWORK IS DUE----PHYSICAL AND ALL FORMS---- CANNOT GIVE OUT EQUIP. OR CLOTHES---- HAVE 4 OUT OF 18 PLAYERS-------GET THIS DONE THIS WEEKEND OR MISS PRACTICE TO GET IT ACCOMPLISHED ASAP.

SEE YOU MONDAY AND PRAY FOR COOLER WEATHER!

August 17th: Subject: Lionel Crawford: Ex Athletic Co-ordinator

Coach Lionel Crawford was shot last Friday night and is in serious condition.

I sent him an e mail that I would like to share with you.

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.
Coach L.A. Hrncir
Teacher and Coach
North Forest High School

Aug 12th: Welcome to Fall Team Tennis

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.

Love, Coach Hrncir and Coach Lang
