Bill’s grandson, Aiden, a sophomore at Severn, was on the #1 doubles team, and his father, Bill, is BL Class of 1992.

When I was asked to coach tennis for the first time a few years ago, I was reluctant since I had only coached lacrosse and basketball in the past. But I was encouraged by Severn’s head coach to do so, and it has been quite a unique experience...
