Fox Creek’s boys’ tennis team has had a remarkable turnaround under first-year head coach Floyd Norman. The Predators, who only won two matches last year, finished this season with a 7-3 record and narrowly missed out on a region championship. Despite their lack of experience and talent, the team’s dedication and hard work paid off in a big way.
Norman, a former high school and college tennis player, implemented a rigorous practice schedule that pushed the players to their limits. The team started the season on an unbeaten streak, surprising everyone at the school and proving that they were a force to be reckoned with.
Norman’s coaching philosophy of putting in the extra work and buying into the team’s goals clearly resonated with the players. Their rapid improvement and success on the court were a testament to their commitment and determination.
The Predators’ unexpected success has not only put them on the map in the tennis world but has also instilled a sense of pride and accomplishment in the entire school community. Norman’s leadership and the team’s hard work have set a solid foundation for future success, and the Predators are poised to continue their winning ways in the seasons to come.
