When I see 200 kids from all over Volusia County occupying all 24 courts at the Florida Tennis Center on Friday nights, I get excited about the future of this sport.

With this environment, the kids slow down. After 24 hours, they let go of the city rhythm. Sometimes we don't have to do too much. We just let the sunset speak.

He didn't have an 'off' button. I'll never know how he did in 24 hours what he did.

We beat them by 24 earlier this season, so I think the kids felt the game against West Boca (in the 14-5A semifinal) was the championship game.

To come away with a road win in a game in which we committed 24 turnovers and shot poorly from the free throw line is huge for us.

What we had to do in doubles was play basic, solid tennis. The main thing with a lot of new kids is they want to hit winners or they want to push the ball. You need to be consistently firm. That?s what Eric does well, and that?s what Matt Dunne did in the second set.
