Post-Season Tennis Update

Hey all! Just wanted to give a quick tennis update for everyone. Tennis season ended on 27 September:

I ended the season 2nd on the team.
I ended the season as JV Team Captain!
I won 4 out of 12 games, which sounds really bad - however, it's pretty good for our school.

The season went really well, over all. I'm pretty sure I'll make Varsity next year, and I'm conditioning so that I'll make Varsity for Track this upcoming Spring. I'll keep you posted!

Top 10 Reasons why Tennis is Harder than Hoops

10. If you miss a shot in tennis, you can't just jump up, grab the ball, and try again.
9. When's the last time an NCAA basketball player had to make a shot with the sun in his eyes?
8. When a tennis player is seeing the ball incredibly well, he'll say it seems as big as a grapefruit. How big is a basketball?
7. When you get tired in tennis, your coach can't just take you out and put someone else in your place.
6. How often does a college basketball player have a perfectly good shot blown out of bounds by the wind?
5. If a basketball player places a shot a little longer than intended, no problem. There's a backboard to make the ball bounce in. No such luck in tennis.
4. Grand Slam tennis matches commonly go more than three hours. When's the last time you saw a three-hour basketball game?
3. If you're not making your shots in basketball, you can just pass the ball to someone who is. No such convenience in tennis.
2. Tennis players have to contend with a net running right across the middle of the court. I'd like to see how basketball players would cope.
1. Tennis balls move at up to 145 m.p.h.. Basketballs top out at around 30.

Good Quotes

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles..." -Isaiah 40:30-31

:) "If people persist in trespassing upon the grizzlies' territory, we must accept that the grizzlies, from time to time, will harvest a few trespassers." -Edward Abbey

"I.... am always glad to touch the living rock again and dip my hand in the high mountain air."
-John Muir

"O Lord Most High, help me to dwell in your secret place and abide under Your shadow. Help me to believe and say out loud for everyone to hear that You are my refuge and my fortress; that You are my God; and that in You I put my trust. O Lord God Almighty, please deliver me from hidden traps and diseases. Father God, cover me with Your feathers; hide me under Your wings; and let Your truth be my shield and buckler against the fiery darts—the lies—of the enemy. Lord Jesus, help me not to be afraid of terrorists' attacks in the night; or weapons that fly by day; or sicknesses that walk in darkness; or destruction that wastes at noonday. O Holy God, though a thousand fall at my side, and ten thousand fall at my right hand; please let it not come close to me and my companions. O Lord Most High, let me live to see the reward of the wicked, because You are my refuge and my home. Let no evil conquer me and let no plague come into my house or near my family. O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer, please set angels over me to keep me in all Your ways, to bear me up in their hands and to keep my feet from stumbling. Father God, help me to tread upon the lion and adder and trample the young lion and the dragon under my feet. Lord Jesus, I love you with all my heart and I know Your name. Deliver me and lift me on high to soar with the eagles. I call upon you to be with me in times of trouble to deliver and honor me because I know Your name. Please show me Your salvation and satisfy me with a long life. I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
- Prayer based on Psalm 91
