It's finally over. It seemed like we were in Indy forever. We got back late last night, but it was well worth it. I lost my singles match, but my sis ended up getting third. We got 2nd in doubles, but that's because we had to play 8 game prosets. My bro and I got third in mixed, also because of 8 game prosets. The tourney was overall a success.
The main reason this tourney was such a success was because I was noticed by a college coach. I was just talking to this man about his daughter's match, but I had no idea who he was. When he told me he was a coach at St. Joe's I still didn't think anything about it. The next day he asked me how I did and said he was going to watch me. While he was watching he talked to my mom about the college and me possibly playing for them.
It is a small Catholic college with about 1,000 students. It about 30 miles north of Lafayette, IN and it takes over 3 hours to get there from my hometown.(not including the time change) It's division 2, so I can't get a full ride. However I should be able to get half for tennis and half for academics. They even have my major, I think. It's pretty exciting.
