This is a very young boys team and most of them are picking up rackets for the first time ever.

The best part was being in the middle of the ring because the roar of a crowd in a packed stadium is pretty awesome. But once I had that power, I made all the wrong choices.

The girls have done quite well for this point in our season. We were looking at a strong bid for the district team championship, but players we expected to return to the program chose not to come out this year.

Branda is steady. She is very competitive and most of her match losses have been close ones against No. 1 seeds.

Charity is arguably our most improved player and Bianca has shown mental toughness all season.

She is still not 100 percent, but she is winning and using her experience to win.
