COACH SCOTT GREVE'S COMMENTS

• Although the outcomes were not what we wanted, we know that in order to appreciate all of the good God has for us, we have to experience the lows as well. I couldn't be prouder of the way [Anderson's tennis teams] poured themselves out [on Saturday] on the court. As a coach, the greatest achievement is to see your team compete with all their heart. These teams have achieved that all season long. We are grateful for the support we have received from the university, community, our friends and family, as well as our competitors this year. We walk away from [Saturday's] competitions knowing the Lord has great things in store for Raven Tennis and we are anxious to see the success that awaits us in the future.
• A special thanks goes to all those parents, alumni and friends who have allowed us this opportunity to carry on the tradition of Raven Tennis. Our hope is that we represented all of you with honor, dignity and love. We look forward to building this program into a championship caliber team that reflects the love the Lord has shown us.
