Cannon Tennis 2018

Cannon did a great job at Mann Middle School playing tennis this year. He was the district champ for boys singles. I really liked his coach and the time he took with the players. I love the team pictures of Cannon because it shows his personality so well. Everyone else is being crazy and he is half participating in the jump, but keeping it pretty serious.
Cannon started at Clover Park High School this summer because he decided to stay at HP for high school. We were hoping he could play at Lakes HS so he would be with Miya, but they didn't give him the approval. He was the only player for Clover Park HS and his coach, who was amazing and won state for girls tennis, was 80 years old. She got one of the graduated players from last year to come in and play with Cannon. Both Phil and I felt worried about Cannon traveling with just the coach in a van to each of the matches. We wanted him on a team so that he could socialize and make some friends. I tried and tried to get a change through the Athletic Directors and the Assistant Superintendent. We worked for months to get it changed, but could never get an answer. I finally went to the Interim Superintendent and got Cannon moved over to Lakes. They had 17 boys on the team. He had played one match for Clover Park and because he was the only player he had to play the number one varsity player and it was pretty ugly. He was excited to play jv at Lakes. I am hoping next year goes a little better because he can just start with Lakes and play all summer with them. He did a great job at staying positive and doing his best at making new friends on the team. I was super proud of him.
