Coach T's comments: Wow! Talk about your long roadtrips. Some of us left Friday night for the 3-1/2 hour trek to Port Huron. Others left Saturday morning at 4 AM. In the end though both groups had a GREAT time. My compliments to the host team, the Port Huron Huskies. Excellent tournament. Excellent competition. Excellent facilities. Nice recovery from the early morning rain. It would have been nice if the 3 sites were a little closer but, hey, that was minor compared to the great workouts everyone got. I know Alex and Nate got some great practice in going 3 sets with all 3 matches. I think that 2nd match 2nd set tiebreaker will be stuck in their beans for a little while as will their TT (trash talking) stylings in the first match (that somehow or another actually resulted in a W). Obviously the Nature Boy, Rick Flair, doesn't have the market cornered on "WOOOOOOOOOO". Regardless, it was a great learning experience. John and Kenny were the only PHS players to leave town above the 500 mark. Congrats boyzz. As with all tourneys, this one came and went with it's usual fair share of hookers (a major Coach T pet peave). It made me feel good though to be able to leave Port Huron knowing that I never saw one PHS player make one bad call. Not one. But that didn't seem to keep several of the Class(less) A squads from working the quick finger more than Julia Roberts works Rodeo Drive. This tourney saw "The Twins" representing PHS at the 2 and 3 singles spots. Thanks for givin' your all guys and good luck with the remainder of your PHS tennis careers. Lob, thanks for bringing "American History X". Sweet movie! Joan and Linda, sorry you got headed south out of the hotel. Time to start the countdown to REGIONALS which means it's time to get our whole squad WHOLE again. Also, congrats to PHS for the #7 ranking in the state. It's a start!! Later. Oh, and Alex is now 14-3.
