MEET THE MCCALLS


We travel all over the Southern Section & we meet a lot of nice people... It's our business to be nice to all but some make it easier than others. Some are actually friends:
MEET THE MCCALLS!

Many, many moons ago, we went to a junior tourney @ North Hills Country Club in Raleigh, NC. We met mom & dad <roy & lisa>, son & daughter <caleb & lauren>. We saw them repeatedly over the years... including the Southern Closed 10s in Columbia, SC where we caught up with 25 funny boys <look for "courtney" - near the end> & asked them to wish their dads a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY :)
<the video is super-blurry but remember - it was 5 yrs ago,
an eternity in technology!!>

Things were going along just fine & then SURPRISE: Due to job situations, they had to move to Atlanta! They were looking for a good academy & as always - you know we recommended WINDWARD TENNIS ACADEMY!! They visited, fell in LOVE with Coach Torrey Hawkins & the rest was history - or so they thought.

Time went by, kids grew older & mom stressed over the family being separated at holidays <remember, Lisa?> Anyway, we ran into the McCalls all the time, recorded tons of match play videos & even a college recruit video for Lauren & then, out of nowhere... SURPRISE: Due to job situations, Coach Torrey had no choice but to move on & Lauren's future <in tennis> looked bleak. But just as they were trying to cope with the loss of Torrey, SURPRISE: OMG-LAUREN SIGNED WITH WESTERN CAROLINA & WILL PLAY D-1 TENNIS NEXT YEAR!!

We caught up with Lauren & mom Lisa @ Southern Closed 18s in Mobile & they were nice enough to answer my questions about the HIGH-TECH TENNIS College Recruit Videos <thanks for the plug, Lisa!> & about the best & worst parts of junior tennis <thanks, guys for being cooperative when I put you on the spot!>.

Like all of us, the McCalls had been busy living their lives but it turns out they had to experience one more chapter first. Due to job situations, SURPRISEThey get to move back to where it all started-CARY, NC <which is near Western Carolina!!> 
& they really WILL start living 
HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!

ALL THE VERY BEST TO THE MCCALLS!!
THANKS FOR YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP & SUPPORT!!
