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.

Practice Starts Next Week!



Hey Folks!

Well we've had an interesting Conditioning Season to say the least. Although we haven't had much of a severe winter, we have had lots of rain. Not sure we have gotten as much accomplished as I would have liked over the last five weeks, but it is what it is.

Practice starts next week and we will be practicing Monday - Friday, 3:00-5:00pm. Currently, I only have three courts to work with at the Racquet Club (three are under repair), so I may move some of our practices over to the old Hixson Middle School Courts. There are five, recently renovated courts over there, which would make things easier once we start doing challenge matches. For now though, we will meet at the Racquet Club as usual.

Let me introduce the teams.

Girls:

Kayla Morgan (Senior)
Whitney Clack (Junior)
Lydia Lindsey (Junior)
Karina Iksanova (Junior)
Michelle Phillips (Sophomore)
Haylee Gossett (Sophomore)
Corynne Schannuth (Sophomore)
Emily Davis (Sophomore)
Emily Gilreath (Freshman)
Maggie Ozborn (Freshman)

Boys:

Dylan Millwood (Senior)
George Ozborn (Senior)
Cory Phillips (Senior)
Kevin Nguywen (Sophomore)
Jacob Lindsey (Freshman)
Nicolas Rodgers (Freshman)
Rivers DeFries (Freshman)

As you can see we are a little short handed on the boys' side. I would love to add 1-3 more boys to this team, so if you know of any underclassmen boys interested in tennis, send them my way.

I will be sending a note home with your children today regarding a Parent meeting on Sunday. Please fill it out and let me know if you will attend. Thanks!
