Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "First off, I'll say congratulations to Georgia Gwinnett. They have a great tennis program and were the better team today. But for us, I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of these boys. The guys have played great tennis all week long and especially when it mattered the most. For the team to finish where they did this year despite all the things they had to go through and deal with is incredible. These boys truly bought into the process this year. Losing today stinks and obviously were sad about it, but I told the boys to keep their heads high and walk proud of having one of the best seasons in school history this year. The program is continuing to improve and these boys this season just laid another steppingstone for the years to come. Proud of our boys for a great season."
