Coach's Corner
"We have had nine guys play in our last two matches. It is unique to have three guys who specialize in doubles and singles. We have gotten back to playing Grizzly Tennis, by being ahead 3-0 after the doubles matches. We are looking forward to tomorrow's match against Lindsey Wilson, whose head coach, Randall Knox, was with us for several years. It will be nice facing them. Every Lindsey Wilson team is going to be strong," said Head Coach Chase Hodges.
