the lines are still good

Follow the happenings of an animated college tennis coach and his teams in their pursuit of an NCAA National Tennis Championship. It is always the impressive trophy that is displayed for all to admire that gets the attention, but it is the journey to claiming that trophy, the relationships built, the people served and the memories created, that live forever...and what I hope you will find interesting...

Clippers Defeat Dowling 9-0...


Sorry for the delay in posting but in more good news, we spoiled the return of Viktor Kim to Concordia, defeating the Lions 9-0. Unfortunately, Viktor was injured and not able to compete, thus making our job quite a bit easier.

We swept the three doubles matches in short order and carried the success over into the singles taking all six matches there as well. Most of the matches featured at least one 6-0 set and at some positions, both. Dane and Ricardo both notched easy victories for the second consecutive day.

Due to cold, winter-like weather, we moved the entire match indoors. It is always extremely difficult for opposing teams to come to our indoor facility and compete. The surface is a bit faster and seems to take some adjusting by the players. We, on the other hand, have no problem resorting to fast-court tennis and using the conditions to our advantage. I certainly would not mind if the whole bloody season, including the Nationals, were played here on our indoor courts.

Next up for us will be two jaunts to Philadelphia, PA to play the "U" on Saturday @ 12noon and USP on Monday @ 3:30pm. This travel is a bit tedious but was necessary to open up the schedule to allow trips to both SC and Las Vegas. These are both CACC matches and need to be played each year. Perhaps the trips could be enhanced by timely visits to Pat's King of Steaks on the way home.
