As long as our players focus, I feel that we ought to be competitive come tournament time. In addition, I feel that our record could very well merit us a berth in the Virginia State Independent Schools Playoffs. If so, it would be the first time that we qualified for the VIS. |
As the season goes on we're going to continue to get better. |
I've been involved with O'Connell tennis since the mid-80s. I've also been involved in coaching a number of sports in Northern Virginia since the 1960s. I guess you could say that I'm a kid that hasn't grown up. |
I've been switching doubles No. 2 and No. 3 somewhat around to try to see who matches up well with whom. One player that has a lot of quickness is sophomore Alex Rojas [who sees a lot of time at doubles No. 2]. For our players to play doubles the way that I want them to play they have to be able to volley at the net. |
That was a match in which nothing went right for us. |
We've got a pretty balanced team this season. |
