Tennis Players of the Week - April 23-29

Parker beat Deep Run�??s Eric Shulman in three sets after facing two match points down 6-4 in the third-set tiebreaker. �??I like the pressure,�?� Parker said laughing. �??I was just thinking what am I going to tell my friends tomorrow at school?�?�

Unbeaten in singles (9-0) and doubles.

�??I think my aggressiveness probably. My serve�??s gotten a lot better since last year. My forehand is actually my best stroke.�?�

�??I like to play any sports possible. This weekend, I played 10 hours of baseball with my friends. I played JV basketball last year. I like to play pretty much anything. Any type of sport that�??s competitive.�?� Parker was the starting shooting guard for the Eagles�?? JV basketball team, averaging nine points per game. �??I think I�??m going to concentrate on tennis my junior year. But I may play my senior year.�?�

�??I definitely want to play Division I tennis. Particularly, maybe the ACC. Like [Virginia] Tech, Clemson. Or Georgia, Alabama [in the SEC]. They�??re good.�?�

�??I think his potential is he could be as good as anybody we�??ve had. But he�??s still got a long way to go.�?� �?? Tom Hoy, Mills Godwin coach

�??I have to say the Deep Run match. I got off to a little rough start. I had a lot of people come out and watch me. I think I got a little nervous. I was down 4-1 in the third set. I said, �??Wow I need to definitely step this up.�?? I think I was little too anxious going for shots at the beginning.�?�
