We know he?s going to be solid for us. He?s very good from the baseline and he?s improved his net game.
We were in a lot of close matches. There was no question we had the toughest schedule in Class L.
I feel that success is not determined by one or two players, but by an entire team. Everyone is important in determining success.
Last season we played one of the toughest schedules in Class L. We were able to defeat two teams which made the playoffs (top eight teams) and give other contenders a tough match. We were truly competitive all season long.
We are rebuilding this year. We lost our Nos. 2, 3,4 ,5 and 6 players from last year?s top six to graduation. As you can tell, this was quite a loss.
When you lose that many kids you?re usually good for a rebuilding year.
Rather than responding from dead sleep, we'll already have people there. We're definitely better off this way.
