Girl's Tennis Team Coach:
I personally witnessed the ECHS Girl's tennis coach berate another player during competition over ostensible line-calls. You could hear the coach's tirade from 100 yds away. This player was my 15-year old daughter, Joy Guha, and the coach's unprofessional display of anger toward reduced her to tears. Even though she won the first set, she basically cried through the next two to lose the match to an inferior opponent. Are all coaches at ECHS using this devious tactic to win???? / S. John Guha
