Because the inaugural regional rankings are forthcoming this week, and most teams’ Spring Breaks are now completed, I thought it was a good time for a state of the region address.

The Guru’s Brief Midseason Review

It sounds amazing, but we are just about half way through the 2017 season. I wrote some brief comments on each team and broke things into five categories. I tried to touch on just about everyone in the top 30 as well as a few other teams that have stuck out to me. Apologies if…

Stag-Hen Live Blog RECAP

I’ll begin this article by throwing it back to Tuesday morning. I don’t know the exact time because we have had about 20,000 texts in our blogger group text since then and I am not going to scroll back because I have a life (barely). Two D3 tennis fanatics known as The Guru and D3AtlanticSouth…

Power Rankings, 3/16
