Hi Tennis Fans,

     I hope you are enjoying the beginning of your tennis season.  I know the courts at Bob Amos get pretty full during the high school and UPIKE tennis season.  Plus, the weather is always a challenge.  But I am proud of how some of the Juniors have matured in their game and on the court.  Keep it up.

     The Kenny Huffman Tennis Classic Tournament held their first meeting Sunday, March 2.  We had 5 members present out of 8.  We need about 4 more members.  If you know someone that might be interested, please let me know.  You do not have to be a tennis player, just someone that doesn’t mind helping out a couple weeks out of the year = especially during the tournament.  We re-elected the same officers except Freddie Napier is President and Jim Vanover is Vice President.  Coty Marcum is our Treasurer and Sue Huffman Stanley is Secretary.  We added Coty as our new Board member.

     We have been having discussions about a concession stand for the 2025 tournamernt.  We hope to get a Food Truck to come on Friday evening for a feew hours and come back on Saturday and Sunday.  They would furnish all the sandwiches like bar-b-que, hamburgers, hotdogs and pulled pork.  Then the committee would furnish the drinks and snacks.  That should go over pretty good.  We have also been discussing a new rule to be put in place this year.  The rule being – “No one will be able to practice on the tennis courts while the tournament is going on.”  This has presented a problem for some of our players with balls rolling on the court in the middle of a point.

     One main thing I want to mention is about our scholarship we give every year.  So far we have only have one player interested.  If you are interested, go to the kenhuffclas.org website and download the scholarship.  It is several pages.  It is usually required to be turned in by mid March, but we have gotten a late start this year.  It needs to be completed by April 5.  Then please send it to Sue Huffman Stanley, either by email or by mail.  My email address is suzyqtennisfan@gmail.com and my address is 1619 Hucknall Place, Statesboro, GA 30458.

     I will leave you with a quote from Venus Williams – “Just Believe in yourself.  Even if you don’t, pretend that you do.  And at some point you will.”
