Jackson County School District

Here are the remarkable results from yesterday's district tournament. Congratulations to all of the players who advanced to state: Maegan Richardson, Macy Bowen, Eve and Ava Jones, Dawson Worthington, Clinton Pretty, Clay Allen, and of course our defending state champions and repeat district champions, Cole Gates and Bronx Holland! Bulldog Tennis was district runner-up in both girls' and boys' teams!❤️💪🏆🎾💯 I am very proud of all of our varsity teams' performances at the district. Thank you, Emma Davis, Josie Branch, and Braedon Cliff. In addition, thanks to team managers, Cameron Ford, Jayden Chitty, and Cruz Casteel (he helped when I didn't even ask). Thanks to team members, Kaysyn and Jordyn Toddy, and Lexi Loftin for showing up to support the team, as well as all of the students who came to support outside of tennis. We appreciate you. I'm going to attempt naming and thanking every parent and grandparents who fed our team meals this season. It's going to be hard, but worth the attempt because our kids played every match of the season with full stomachs. Thank you: Mr. And Mrs. Paul Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Greeno, Mr. and Mrs. Holland, Mrs. Sally Pinkerton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Gates, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Worthington, Mrs. Summer Terry and family, Mr. Jonathan Davis and family, Mr. and Mrs. Cory Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Branch, Mrs. Whitney Loftin and family, Mr. Stephen French and family, Mr.and Mrs. Lyndsey and Mike Bowen, and Mr. and Mrs. Jana and Ronnie Hardin and family. Thank you to every team parent! We appreciate you if you fed us a meal, helped fill the snack bucket, or just showed up to support us. If I missed a name, please blame my head and not my heart. Thank you, everyone. A very special thank you to Mrs. Summer Terry, who has organized tennis meals for many years, even before her own child, was on the team. Thank you, Mrs. Summer! We love you! Thanks to my assistant coach, Mr. Gates. You're invaluable, Mr. Gates! Thanks to coaches Jim Merriman and Jason Davis. Coach Jim works with Cole Gates and Lexi Loftin. Coach Jason works with Macy Bowen, Cole Gates, Bronx Holland, and Dawson Worthington. So, as you can see, it takes a village to make a successful high school team, and I am very thankful to every resource. Thanks to my league buddies and friends who scrimmaged with my players for high-quality tennis practice: Matt Mitchener, Steven Spack, Grant Goodart, Trae Milton, Emmanuel McGee, Andrew Shoffner, Tanner Patrom, Michael McEuen, Cory Kyle, John Koch, and Jude and Justice Stuart. Also, a shoutout to my NEATA tennis community for always having my back. Thanks to Mr. Mike Summers for stringing my kids racquets at a very affordable price for them. Last but not least, a huge thanks to our school and community. Thank you to every administrator, teacher, and community member who supports Bulldog Tennis. Thank you to the kids who practice and play their hearts out for me. State! Here comes the Bulldogs! I hope you're ready for us! Go, Dawgs!❤️💪🐾🎾💯
