Long time, tennis 🎾 coach and even longer friend Bill, ” Pappy ” Meade checks in with a unique story from the courts!

Bill Meade coaches the Boys πŸ‘¦ Tennis 🎾 team at Staunton High School 🏫 and it’s always refreshing to hear from our long time. Friend and this morning he told a fun story about his teams match at Rockbridge High School.

Early season schedule πŸ“…

His team was playing down in Lexington at Rockbridge County High School.

They dropped their previous match 5-4 at Alleghany High School a few days earlier and were locked πŸ”’ into another close battle with RCHS.

The match was all square at 4-4, and the deciding set was as back and forth as one could play. Eventually, it became too dark for the Student Athletes to see the ball , and neither team brought their glow in the dark balls, so theΒ  match was halted.

Que the famous Tom Hanks line in the movie, A League of Their Own –

Are you tying ?, There’s no tying in Tennis!!!

The match will be resumed when the two teams meet up later in the season at Mary Baldwin.

It is always great to converse with a Man πŸ‘¨ who identifies with so many things that we hold near and dear to our efforts !

Thank you, Coach, for giving of your time and effort to lead our youth !
