Congratulations Ford!

Coach of the Year

Here's Ford
with a future netster.

Our nephew Ford Rolfsrud, the Shakopee High School Varsity Tennis Coach, has been elected the Section Coach of the Year. The award is conferred by his 13 fellow section coaches.
The team was 15-3 in the regular season this year (most wins and best record ever), second in the conference (highest finish in history), and won a playoff match for the first time in recorded history. Final record was 16-4. Ford had eight seniors on the Varsity this season. That's a lot, so he's facing a rebuilding year.
Ford has led the Shakopee Boys for the past five years, building a struggling team into the town's best tennis program ever.
"Kids who play hard on the court and work hard in the classroom make coaches look really good," said the respected math teacher, who lives with his wife and daughter in Shakopee.
Before coming to Shakopee and making Rolfsrud a household word, Ford coached two years of Varsity Boys in Colorado at Mountain View and then served as the boys and girls coach at Middleton, Wisconsin, where his boys won the section championship in 2005.
Although this has not been recently verified, it is believed that da nephew is still in possession of a 125 mph serve.

Jenn, Ford, Kaia
