We knew we were 4. A kinda haiku, in words and pictures, about the 2013 Green Wave boys tennis season and their final 4 appearance, as the number five seed, in the South Jersey Group One Playoffs.

4 something different 4 our third 2013 dance with our closely competitive foes.  4 going forward.    4 accomplishing something special.  4 going a little beyond what seemed possible.  4 the pride it brings.  4 crashing the final four party & having a blast doing it.   I still have a chocolate chip cookie platter, left over from this party, that's up 4 grabs, if anyone wants it.    


 4 coming through in the clutch.   4 being down two matches to 1.  4 the last 2 matches, third singles and first doubles, on the Lindenwold tennis courts.  4 the third set in each of those two matches.  4 finding our "met·tle (m t l) n. 1. Courage and 4titude." 4 ryan assisting with the court 1 powder keg, 4 adding the first spark.  


 
4 a team who had members who knew what it felt like to endure a no win 2011 season.  4 easily savoring and sensing what this playoff victory meant for the past, present and 4 the future.  4 leaving a lasting mark.  4 taking on a challenge.   4 finishing strong.   4 changing the direction of a program.  4 truly earning that fine moment in the sun.  4 being a team.   






4 your viewing pleasure, the playoff bracket here and 4 seeing all those schools falling  by the wayside.  4 still being there after 0-2 to Lindenwold this season.  4 doing this all, when it mattered most.  4 a 2-0 playoff record.  4 finding what we didn't know we had, when we started the season, but by the time we arrived here 4 our 2nd round playoff match, we knew we had lost 4 along the way.  4 coming prepared, to this playoff meeting.  To take 4 back.  Cause 5 never did fit right in green.  Lastly, not 4getting to thank Coach Bay 4 the great pictures you see here.  4 a coach who on this day 4got his camera, but will always beam with pride when I remember this match, on a day i'll never forget.  Thanks & Congrats, that was pretty darn cool!
