2009 Girls Captains

The team has voted in our two captains for this fall. Congratulations to Hillary Tindall & MC Faulkner!

Hillary is a returning letter winner from last year's team. She was a consistent contributor to the team last year in matches and in practice. She was given the 2008 Girls Coach's Award for her excellent attitude and work ethic.

MC is in her first year as a tennis player at Northwestern. She also competes on the Lady Trojan basketball team. Although just in her first year of tennis, she has the potential to make a strong impact in matches and in practice every day.

Congratulations to both of you. I look forward to seeing you demonstrate superior leadership to the sixteen other hard working ladies this year.

Go Trojans!

Scrimmage v. Indian Land Cancelled

As most of you probably have figured out, the rain is not going to stop in time for our courts to be playable.

Indian Land also will not be able to come to us tomorrow evening as they will not have enough players to field a team. We may reschedule for a future date, but at this point it is cancelled.

We'll meet in the mini gym tonight at 6 pm - 8 pm for indoor workouts. I will announce captains, hand out snack schedule (I forgot in the dash from the rain this morning), and Mrs. Cox will have some uniform pieces that the girls can try on to confirm sizes.

Once captains are announced, my day to day communications will all filter through them. I will text information on rainouts to the captains, they will in turn forward it to the team, and the team members can notify parents. Information will still be posted here, but I feel that texting can get the information out faster and they will know information immediately after school.

Also, a note to snack assignments:
- If your date doesn't work, please try to reschedule amongst yourselves. I don't really care who has which day as long as all dates are covered
- Try not to purchase perishables in advance. Pick them up on the way to the match so that nothing goes bad if a match gets rained out.

Go Trojans!
