Another tennis week+ gone by in a blink, a blur.
Statistically, the tennis team is crushing it. Boys are 12-2. Girls are 12-2.
Two moments really stand out from the week.
Monday, playing Stevi. The weather is threatening. Snow and rain clouds materialize, cling to and rain/snow on the Bitterroot Mountains, sending a torrent of wind and cold toward the courts. With each cloud, I look at the match list, hoping everyone gets to play. The sun materializes; clouds vanish along with the coats, hats, and gloves. Until the next cloud bank threatens, and everyone bundles up again.
Match after match is played. 2:30. 3:30. 4:30. 5:30. 6:30.
We finally put on the last two matches, somewhere around 7:00. Four players who had been waiting for hours to play, excitedly take the courts as a cloud breaks from the mountains, and extends into the valley. It begins raining on the courts. The fans scramble, grabbing belongings, bailing to their cars. It rains, in earnest.
But the players don’t leave the courts. Tennis is played. In the rain. With heavy wet tennis balls. My old high school coach, Bill Everett, and I smile. While we don’t say it, I know we both think we are doing something right.
Tuesday. Senior recognition night. The plan was food and fun at the courts after practice. The weather, as it has all year, has other plans. We improvise, like you so often have to do on the tennis court. A family offers to host and a high percentage of the 48 student-athletes on the team show up.
I am given a chance to speak about the seniors; I only hope the love I have for them, what they have meant to the program, to the team, to me, echoes in my words.
I begin every season telling my teams that we have, in front of us, the opportunity to create something special. While the season is not yet over and the tournament run lies in front of us, I am certain we have indeed done just that.
