Hi Tennis Fans,

 Our tennis season just ended.  The last ATS tournament was Nov. 1-3.  All the points should be posted by this weekend (Nov.16). Then you can check the points out.  If you have a disagreement, please let me know.  You can text or call me at 404-483-6051.  I want you to remember that when you filled out the ATS application, you chose 3 divisions to get points in.  Sometimes a tournament doesn't offer your division - so, Jeff and I try to put those points in one of your divisions.  Next year,
be sure and try to play in the divisions you have chosen when possible.

 It has been a long but wonderful season.  I know the Kenny Huffman Tennis Classic committee has learned a lot.  We try to improve the tournament each year by trying new ideas.  Sometimes they are good, and there are times they just don't work.  We are trying to improve on our concession stand and registration.  If you have any bright ideas, let us know.  You can send them to Jim Vanover or Freddie Napier, our co-directors.

 I have been watching a lot of the ATP and the WTA tournaments.  Wow, the power these players have is remarkable.  And some of their serves are like bullets.  But they sacrifice a lot to be that good.  It's like practicing 8 hours a day, doing weight training, and conditioning.  We all inspire to be better.  Just remember you have to put in the work to get there.  Roger Federer said, "There's no way around hard work. Embrace it."

 To all of the junior players - stay in shape over the winter.  Work on endurance, coordination, arm and leg strength, and anywhere you can find an indoor court, practice.  I am going to keep praying for someone to find a way to build at least 2 more indoor courts.  I keep up with how you are doing because I do the points for the ATS.  Always put God first and you will find a way to improve.

 I want to wish everyone a Happy thanksgiving.  It is a great time to be thankful.  Life doesn't always dish out what we want, but God is in control.  Take it all to Him.  My life has had a lot of sorrow, and my health is not the best.  But I have a joyful  heart and much praise.  I wish you all the best.
