Tonight was more than just a match as it was the last time that Drayton Wade, Michael Baldwin, and Tyler Leonard will suit up on the Northwestern courts for the tennis program. These three young men have been terrific for me to work with and I learned in their remarks after the match that their memories will be much more about the off the court stuff than the matches they played.What I will remember about these three is how hard they worked in practice every day. Sure, I'll remember Drayton's win over Clover to seal the win for us. I'll also remember Michael going 9-1 in region matches this year. I will remember Tyler winning every match he played this year. However, I will remember these three as asking me multiple times for help on their g
ames & I will remember them working with me and on their own to get better.
ames & I will remember them working with me and on their own to get better.All three seniors were victorious in their singles matches tonight. Drayton held down the top spot tonight for us. Michael played the number three spot and won a well played second set after a somehwat frustrating first set. Tyler played the 5th singles spot and won it fairly handily as well.
The win improves our overall record to 11-4. We have one regular season match remaining to prepare for the post season at Rock Hill HS on Wednesday. We did defeat the Bearcats previously 4 matches to 2, however I am hopeful that we are able to reverse our fortune in the 2 matches that were dropped.
The playoffs will start next Monday. I still am unsure of whether we'll be seeded 3rd 
or 4th out of our region. It will come down to who is declared the 1 & 2 seeds. If Nation Ford is declared #1, we will be #3 since we have a victory over them. However, if Fort Mill is declared the #1, Clover will get the #3 since they have a victory over them and we do not. The drama will be played out at the end of the week & I will know for sure where we go by the weekend. I'll let everyone know as soon as I know.
