The NCSSM-Morganton boy’s tennis team is more excited than ever since last year's non-conference season. The Dragons are setting their goals high this season in the Western Highlands 1A conference. They are looking to play some high competition non-conference matches with surrounding school conferences as they tune up for conference play beginning March 11th.
The Dragons are returning 5 top 6 line seniors and adding 8 juniors. Practice is underway and our theme is “Iron sharpening iron”. Sparks are flying as the juniors vie for their rightful place on the team. So the goal is first to win the conference, have good representation in the regionals, represent themselves well in Dual Team and move on to as many slots as they can in the state competition.
As a seasoned tennis instructor and coach I am in awe of some of these guys with their skill sets. I thought we were good last year but we have definitely set the bar higher. What a joy for Jody Deacon and I to have the opportunity to work with these young leaders of the future.
