We are fresh off our
Spring 07 campaign where we competed in Nationals for the
first time. I am proud of the accomplishments of our team,
despite a difficult season record, we proved that we not only
can compete on the National level but that we are a force
to be reckoned with. We made a huge impact in our first foray
into Nationals coming home with several honors:
Men's Team National Runner-up (2nd in the
Nation)
Men's Doubles National Champions (Hiram &
Adriel Gonzalez)
Men's #6 Singles National Champion (Caleb
Prewitt)
Men's Singles National Runner-up (Hiram Gonzalez)
Men's #3 Doubles Consolation Champions (Alexis
Narvaez & Brandon Womack)
We are excited and looking forward to the upcoming 08 season
where we hope to improve on our benchmark in both Men's &
Women's Team Tennis We are looking for those eager to join
our team. It is imperative that any interested Men have High
School or Tournament experience. The quality of competition
demands it and there is little room for those still learning
the game, I am sorry to say. If you think you qualify then
contact me or come to one of the open tryouts listed above.
As for the Women, your participation is greatly needed. It
all starts and ends with the Womens program and your willingness
to get out there and compete.
For the Women its not as much as important that you have good
quality experience as it is that you are willing to try. If
you think you have some athletic ability and/ or have played
Tennis in the past, you may want to come and try-out. Don't
think your not good enough. I've finished the year with some
of my best players coming from the Soccer field or the Volleyball
court.
I look forward to seeing all of you come tryouts or at
your local campuses.
