I have been given the opportunity to coach both the Boys and Girls Hixson High School Tennis Teams. Hixson Tennis has a rich tradition, and I am committed to getting both these teams competitive again. I run a no-cut program, and I will do my best to ensure that everyone learns the foundations of a sport they will likely play for a lifetime. More importantly, I will strive to teach these boys and girls about integrity, honesty and character.

The Regular Season Ends In Another Split.

I think I predicted our Boys would do better in our second match against Red Bank. Our team proved me right. We narrowly lost the first time around, 5-4. Today we took care of business and won 7-2. Big Congrats to our 3-6 seeds, who were all perfect on the day, winning their singles and doubles matches!

On the Girls side, what can you say. Coach Wagner has a talented bunch of players over there, and they have only gotten better. They went undefeated in our district and even beat teams from much bigger schools. On the plus side, we did manage to win two doubles matches against their reserves. Here are the results:


Red Bank Girls defeat Hixson Girls 7-2

Girls Singles:

Amy Metcalf (RB) def. Allison Cowart 8-1
Kristen Camp (RB) def. Candace Cline 8-0
Ivory Conley (RB) def. Ashton Summers 8-0
Megan Long (RB) def. Whitney Clack 8-1
Danielle Hargis (RB) def. Torey Hart 8-0
Claire Cox (RB) def. Kayla Morgan 8-2

Girls Doubles:

Conley/Long (RB) def. Cowart/Summers 8-1
Cline/Clack (H) def. Julia Reed/Ahmee Desai 8-3

Up Next: The District Tournament, Monday, May 10 -- don't hold me to this, but I think the matches are going to start around noon. I wish I could say that the hay is in the barn here, but it's not. We've still got a lot to try to improve upon between now and Monday afternoon. Our Varsity teams will practice at least Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and if I can get away with it, I might hold an optional practice on Mother's Day.
