Burton Tennis "Not Just a Sport...A Tradition"

Gate City first with the young guns, burton on heels because of several years experience coming back, and Clintwood on heels of Burton. Burton has some questions marks this year. It will depend on their work ethic and dedication. They need leadership by an experienced player to help lead to the promise land.

Gate City's Four horsemen are tough. They are very dedicated and have a love for the game. Clintwood is very athletic.

Have we forgotten about Coeburn's performance the past couple of years. This is most of the players third year and we lost only one senior last year. Coeburn has a pretty good chance this year.

I've heard that the four horsemen of Gate City will be the saviors of Gate City tennis that will finally get them a district title in one of the few sports they've failed to dominate in.
These kids apparently play year round in indoor facilities in the tri-cities and are tournament seasoned.

As a Burton alum, I know we don't practice year round, and we do not have the resources to play in country clubs, have tennis lessons, etc... And most of us never took the initiave to ever play in some of the more competitive tournaments the tri-cities to offer. The fact of the matter is we multi-task too much in other sports, academics, jobs, etc... And this is respectable you gotta do what you gotta do.

But I gotta ask to the Burton tennis faithful, can you honestly get it done against a bunch of pretty boys of country club stock. This especially means the veterans have to step up and take the inexperienced kids under your wing so the top 6 is strong top to bottom - you should leave no one to hang.

Throughout my career I saw us get beat time and time again at state by teams that were more fundamentally sound (read the P#!*#$ from George Mason high school for example).

I think you can. But you're going to have to go into this season with a chip on your shoulder like we used to when Kelly was THE team to beat and the papers never gave us any credit.

I know Burton's dominated districts and regions for the past couple years, but do NOT take this year lightly.

I honestly don't think we are currently the team to beat, but in 5 months I expect/hope that this edition of the Burton tradition makes it that way again.

"Burton tennis, more than just a sport, a tradition."
- And just in case people have forgotten, that's a tradition of proving people wrong.

Well, some of our players practice all year round..... But even the ones that don't play whenever they get the chance
