A competitive weekend of Central tennis is coming up and as it was so elegantly put before me, it’s my non-paying job to give my insights. I expect these to be great matches and I’m sure there will be some fireworks. I would love to hear comments on specifics so I can incorporate them into…
D3ASouth did a great job with his article and it sparked my interest. In general, my analysis and write-ups have been on the positive side and have been sparkly and kind. Not today. The gloves are off. It’s about time the Central wakes up and plays with some heart, grit, and determination. I think it’s…
As promised here is my Spring break preview of the Gusties. Between them, Case, and Kenyon, they are the only Central teams that have been able to make any noise on the larger stage thus far. I will get to my thoughts on every Central team in my upcoming “State of the Central” article, but…
Well there hasn’t been too much action lately in Central and I find myself with a little extra time for once. I really wanted to do this for Case and Kenyon (especially after I saw D3AS’s wonderful post on Swat and CMU), but there was a lot going on at the time and I just…
This has been a crazy few days in D3tennis. I can barely keep up with it all, and I apologize if I’m missing some stuff here and there (Case/Whittier match for instance). If there are things you guys are looking for or things you’d like to hear my thoughts on, please feel free to email…
This weekend, there are several matches to note and watch for. A few of them will be all-Central battles and I will give my insight on probable scenarios and outcomes. Some different teams will be meeting with some very different stakes as well as a new rivalry that is just growing its roots. On with…
I have the privilege of breaking down the other matches from the weekend. I won’t waste any time. #17 Case Western-6 def. #28 Depauw 3: The preview of this match called for a routine Case Western victory. Honestly, it came to pass pretty much as D3TG predicted. There were definitely some bright spots for Depauw,…
I want to start by saying, I would have posted a “Best of the Rest” preview a while ago… But unfortunately, technical difficulties decided otherwise. Since I couldn’t deprive everyone of these I will throw in a small preview of each of the teams I was going to cover in some of the recaps of…
Coach: Jay Tee, 1st Season Location: Chicago, IL 2009 Ranking: 17th 2010 Ranking: 21st 2011 Ranking: 11th 2012 Ranking: 30th (Tied) 2013 Projected Ranking: D3C 24th, D3TG 22nd Overview: Seriously, the coach’s name is Jay Tee. Not making that up. This is his first year as head coach, and he comes from Cleveland State University, where he was an assistant for four…
Coach: Scott Riggle, 4th Season Location: Greencastle, IN 2009 Ranking: 12th 2010 Ranking: 18th 2011 Ranking: 16th 2012 Ranking: 28th 2013 Projected Ranking: D3C 26th, D3TG 25th Overview: Depauw is a very good program that deserves a lot of respect. Unfortunately, they seem to be heading in the wrong direction. They continued to recruit the same level of players the Tigers always…
