Spring time in Upstate New York means high school tennis. My former team, the Shenendehowa Plainsmen, are once again in the running to win the Section II Class A title. I think we've won like 7 of these since I graduated in 1998, following a very long dry spell (which should tell you something about how much I contributed to our school's success!).
Anyway, today's Albany Times Union has a great article about Shen's starting third doubles player who, due to several congenital anomalies, plays and wins without most of his fingers, toes, and the ability to see out of his right eye. A really great story.
Also, the article quotes Gene Gould, Shen's longtime coach. It's great to see him still at the helm, coaching so many championship level teams.
