Pumpkin’s partner\u00a0Tiffany is a sophomore who loves to coach, or giving tips. I went down to watch with my camera in hand. Pumpkin told her .. that’s my Mom. Tif waved a hello, said “hi Mom ..” So cute. They were leading 2:0. Then Pumpkin served and lost the game with two doubles. The opposing team won their first serving game. It was 2:2. For a moment, I thought I was distracting them. Then Tif played a very smart serving game; Pumpkin’s forehands were really working .. .. their opponents began to falter. Next thing I knew they won the set 8:2 – first to reach the 8th game wins. Tif has a great serving motion .. .. Pumpkin began to bent her knees too.<\/p>\n

After the match, I greeted Tif. She came over and gave me a very firm hand shake. Wow. I like a positive and firm hand shake. Shows your sincerity. I dislike the half assed limpy hand shake, especially from a man – pun intended. Tif seems a really nice girl, who knows what she wants and going after it. Her parents try to discourage her from playing tennis (more time on books) but she took a job and pays for herself. She also got accepted at pre-college division at Julliard<\/a> for bassoon. A go getter.<\/p>\n

They know each other from lacrosse but I think the partnership has made them closer.\u00a0 I’m grateful for her influence on Pumpkin.\u00a0 Choosing your friends is very important.<\/p>\n

Sharon’s Dad said that one other area’s courts<\/a> have been renovated already too<\/a>.\u00a0 I got to check that one out too.<\/p>\n

Is south of LIE a tad hickier or what:\u00a0last time they played a team from the south and the coach brought a huge bag of junky snakes and they littered the wrappers all over the courts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
