Wesley Stonestreet: Tennis Warrior

Wesley Stonestreet is gearing up for a big year in 2005. He has a nice groundstroke game. He's not afraid to come to the net. He mixes up spins very well, including slice. His serve still needs some attention, but being a left hander gives him an added advantage.

He loves tennis and works hard to improve his game. He has a strong court presence and very much prefers winning to losing. He is very coachable and is a popular favorite with the other players in the tennis program, both youth and adult.

If Wesley continues to apply himself then he has a bright future in store. I look forward to watching his progress in 2005.

Wesley Stonestreet is shown here at a recent tennis workout during Coach Sam's Monday drill at Columbia Lakes Country Club in West Columbia. 

A left hander, Wesley is shown here following through on his backhand. Here he displays great shoulder rotation and good balance while keeping his eye on the ball. His backhand is the most lethal shot in his arsenal. 

Wesley Stonestreet is one of the top players in the Columbia Lakes junior development program.

Jack Pot Nagle. Also Known as Jackie. She is the Queen of the Court at Columbia Lakes Country Club. And she does a great job ruling over and protecting the Tennis Courts from evil Golf Carts that have the misfortune of passing by. She usually attends Monday Ladies Drill and Saturday Morning co-ed drill with her companion, 'Gracie', who was a little camera shy the day photos were taken...!

Boyd Rogers shows off a great open stance forehand here. He wears his hat backwards like Andy Roddick and Leyton Hewitt.
