As most of you know by now, the team is off to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow 3/13. Now some of you may feel that "Sin City" is a strange place for a tennis trip. However, rain is not a common occurrence is this desert oasis and the temperatures are a welcomed 75 degrees (F). As a result, quite a nice venue for tennis and one that figures to allow all matches to be played.
We will be staying at the Luxor in the pyramid, seen above, which should be pleasant for all. I look forward to the trip and hope the team can continue to focus on tennis. Clearly, there are many distractions in Las Vegas and we will need to handle them well to win our matches. The schedule will be as follows:
Monday 3/14 vs. Fresno Pacific (#1 NAIA) @ 12:30pm PST
Tuesday 3/15 vs. Abilene Christian (#10 NCAA II) @ 12:30pm PST
Wednesday 3/16 vs. Hawai'i Pacific (#25 NCAA II) @ 8:30am PST
All matches will be played at the Darling Tennis Center. This should prove to be another huge test for your Clippers versus more of the elite tennis teams in the country.
Speaking of huge tests, Coach Neil has one with respect to the 5+ hour flight. As you all know, he does not like to fly much and has never flown a flight of this length. At least we have him in an aisle seat for comfort. I hope Delta has the proper "medication".
We will return 3/17, St. Patrick's Day. I look forward to the NCAA Basketball tournament "March Madness" and also the CACC portion of our schedule.
17 Black!
