Men’s Regional POTW: 3/7-3/13

It’s bracket time again people. This week’s POTW is March Madness themed with Wooden Award Candidate nicknames given to some of our sport’s very best. This week featured a heck of a lot of excellent tennis, from Stag-Hen to teams on spring break, and even a couple of season debuts. Congrats to this week’s winners,…

This Week In West: March 13-20

Wow, the Stag-Hen may have started off with a little bit of a fizzle, but it finished with a bang. The other writers are sure to chip in with their thoughts, but here are a few of my observations since the tournament included my three top teams and another one of my top 7: Emory…

Stag-Hen Round 2 Preview: In Brief

The rain delay and my timely getting off of work has allowed me to do a quick preview of Stag-Hen round two. I’m playing tennis myself soon and have to leave in 15 minutes, so let’s see how many words I can fire off. My guess is about 500. I’m hoping they will be getting…

2016 Men’s Power Rankings 3/4

What a week it has been for me, as I have admittedly been MIA and not active on the blog.  Luckily, I have a team of writers who straight kill it week after week, so kudos to them.  They set up these power rankings and I actually just finished them, which I realize is 2…

This Week in West: Whitman/Swarthmore and Redlands/Mary Washington

If the last two “Spring Break Walla Walla”s were the first two Godfather movies, this year’s iteration is definitely Godfather III.
